Re: compressor quality not good enough

There seems to be some confusion about datarates and file sizes.

It is impossible to encode a video to 50 Kilobits per second unless you are prepared to drop the frame size to something like 160x120 or smaller.

Is it that you are getting Kilobits and KiloBytes mixed up?

50 KiloBytes = 400 Kilobits

So, are we talking file size or data rate? KiloBytes or Kilobits?

With video you generally refer to the datarate not the file size because:
filesize = the_datarate x the_duration_of_the_clip

So a 1 minute clip with a constant datarate of 500Kbit/s per second would be roughly 3750 KBytes or 3.75 MegaBytes in file size.

500 x 60 seconds/8
