Elgato's software is definitely using CBR for the video. On the Mac version, the video is always exactly 1500 kbps, no matter what you capture. The Windows version gives you 2500 kbps, but that's still not good enough, because the software is very old and is based on the limitations of being able to compress the video on-the-fly on a 15-year-old PC, so it's using a very low compression efficiency level.
