determining, by at least one processor, a number of encoded pictures in a pre-selected number of pictures preceding a picture is greater than or equal to a pre-determined number;
determining, by the at least one processor, a skip assessment of the picture based on an occupancy of a hypothetical buffer and a maximum allowable occupancy of the hypothetical buffer; and
determining, by the at least one processor, not to encode the picture based on the skip assessment and in response to determining that the number of encoded pictures in the pre-selected number of pictures is greater than or equal to the pre-determined number.
