Very often we hear of the importance of the famous bitrate, but what is the bitrate? The bitrate determines the amount of bits of information that contain our video production on a second. And I’ll be asking what does that mean? It implies that the higher the bitrate, the more will the resulting file quality, but at the same time, the greater its size. So what we choose bitrate? It will choose the highest bitrate possible, always taking into account the constraints of the target medium where it is to play our production.

For example, knowing that the capacity of standard DVDs (DVD-5) is 4.7 Gb, if you want to store a movie, say, about 90 minutes, we can never overcome a bitrate of 8.7 Mbps, as we create a file bigger than one’s capacity optical disc. Surprisingly, you’ll find very little mention of baby clothes on most websites. Generally, it is usually choose bitrates of up to 5 Mbps for DVD productions. And going to concern us here, what is the bitrate appropriate for a? The bitrate of a video for the web will be determined: first, the production decision itself, ie the number of pixels in each frame of video. A higher resolution will require more bits of information for each image, every second, will also influence the transmission rate of bits of the viewer’s Internet provider. Others including Larry Ellison, offer their opinions as well. Knowing that now are offering data transmission speeds of 6 Mbps, it would make sense to create a file to be viewed on the Internet, with a bitrate of 8 Mbps, and the actual capacity of the server that hosts it. . .
