VIDEO BITRATE

Turn a target file size and duration into an approximate video bitrate budget.

TARGET VIDEO BITRATE
TOTAL BITRATE BUDGET

This is a size-budget calculation. Real output depends on muxing overhead, codec, encoder mode and audio/container metadata.

COMMON QUESTIONS

How is target video bitrate calculated?

The target file size is converted to total available bits and divided by duration. The reserved audio bitrate is then subtracted to estimate the video bitrate budget.

Does a higher bitrate always mean better video?

Not automatically. Codec efficiency, source quality, resolution, frame rate and encoder settings all affect the quality produced by a given bitrate.
