There is no one size fits all if you understand how H.264 and H.265 codecs work its obvious. Fast moving video with a lot of cuts and or video with fine detail like lots of leaves, ripples on water or bands of contrasting color require a higher bitrate, videos with fewer cuts and less "action" can look very well at low bitrates, cartoons are an even different thing entirely. I have found that most porn will look really good at 4mbs bitrates IF you use the H.264/265 "high" profiles if your video is more Dark Brothers style with MTV old school fast cuts , smash cuts and 1 to 2 second shots you will need to tweak it up....and always use an external monitor so you know what it looks like on an HDTV because I assure you it looks very very different on your 75 inch HDTV than it does on your 17 inch laptop screen.
