At some point after ffmpeg 2.8.5 I started to see this message when stream copying mpg2 videos:

  VBV buffer size not set, using default size of 130KB
  If you want the mpeg file to be compliant to some specification
  Like DVD, VCD or others, make sure you set the correct buffer size

I can provide a sample mpg2 clip if necessary, but I was able to get the same behavior by generating a short clip using ffmpeg, then stream copying that generated clip (see output below). If I do the same thing using ffmpeg 2.8.5 I don't get any warning message.

What do I need to do to avoid this message? I'm not even sure what option(s) I should use to set the "VBV buffer"... I assume -bufsize and/or -maxrate, but I tried setting both and neither made any difference.

And do either of those really need to be set for a stream COPY operation?

Examples:

Generate a 10 sec "blank" video using latest ffmpeg:

  $ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=color=red -codec:v mpeg2video -b:v 16384k -bufsize 
4096k -maxrate 30000k -t 10 -f vob TEST.mpg
