Bitrate and its calculation Bit rate (bit rate) Part 2
Let’s go back to the DVD story for a moment.
When the first analog-to-digital converters appeared in capture card form, it was claimed that 60 minutes of video could be put on a DVD-R with no loss of quality. In the claimed presentation data of the DVD format, the maximum bit rate of the multiplexed stream is 9.8 Mbit / s. When DVD recorders appeared that were capable of digitizing an analog signal in high quality, it was said that the recorder could fit up to 125 minutes on a disc without losing quality and up to 90 minutes if you wanted to save sound in PCM format.
We test, we verify, we write from both disk and videotapes; there is no visual difference even during pauses and in frame by frame mode (if the recorder is good). The bit rate that the recorders give to the output of the digitized image is 9000 Kbps and sometimes a little more. Why is the math not the same as the DVD burner result?
Probably because we do the calculation for a constant bit rate, and the recorders can already digitize video with a variable bit rate and have appropriate compression algorithms. By setting the upper limit of the bit rate at 9000 Kbps, you can achieve a good picture in video segments with dynamic actions, while in other parts of the same video the value of the bit rate can reach 2000 Kbps. noticed that when you record a video or a photo with a digital camera, the files have different sizes? Once the initial parameter is set, the codec itself chooses the value of the bit rate. Optimal bit rate for DVD video Considering the fact that up to 120 minutes of video can be recorded on DVD-R without quality loss, we ask ourselves: how to do this? Let’s consider 2 ways: 1. If you are using a DVD burner, set it to “lossless quality” mode and set to record. If your video is 60 minutes long, the recorder will not stretch it by 4. 36GB and it will only take up half the free space. 2. If you use a capture card or TV tuner, first capture as described here and then compress the resulting file with a quality program with modern codecs and multiple passes (at least the same Freemake Video Converter) at the speed of dvd5 for 120 minutes (don’t forget the menu). Consider an option when your video is short and you are not going to burn it to DVD-ROM or if you want to burn multiple MPEG-2 files to disc at once without losing quality. Below is a table calculated mathematically on the basis that you can fit 120 minutes of video on 4464MB of disk space (no menus). There are a few things to keep in mind: The table is written for MPEG-2 files. The table is not written for previously compressed videos. These values do not include a menu. Using different programs, you can get different results. The values in the table may vary depending on the content of the video. If the program has a bit rate option then you need to set “VBR” (variable). The values in the table are based on “lossless compression”. In this article, “lossless compression” refers to the viewing experience. In fact, in the analytical version, the word “compression” already denotes a loss of quality.
