With this little calculator you can calculate the bitrate of a video based on the length, the resolution and other parameters. We found this script in our archives, maybe it is useful for someone, esp. as Silverjuke supports videos now ...
| Desired size for the complete clip: | MB ? |
| Clip length: | minutes |
| Audio bitrate: | kbit/s ? or audio size: MB |
| Assumed codec overhead: | % |
| Resulting audio size: | MB |
| Resulting video size: | MB |
| Resulting video bitrate: | kbit/s |
| Desired video resolution: | x pixel ? |
| Desired video frames: | fps ? |
| Video bitrate from above: | kbit/s |
| Resulting bits per pixel: | bits/pixel |
Bits per pixel explained:
< 0.10: Don't do it.
0.10 - 0.15: It will look bad.
0.15 - 0.20: You will notice blocks, but it will look okay.
0.20 - 0.25: It will look really good.
0.25 - 0.30: It won't really improve visually.
> 0.30: Don't do that either - try a bigger resolution instead.
