My friends DVD recorder records video with variable bit rate 9545.8 (2 hours on one disc). If I record in that mode my variable bit rate is 4505.6. Why?

The 9545.8 is probably the MAX bitrate or else would 2 hour be around 8.5GB(use a bitrate calculator to calculate the size, see our tools list).
How do you check the bitrate? -
i make mpg from the disc and then i open the file in WOMBLE MPEG WIDEO WIZARD. I can see there whats the bitrate
-
Yes thats OK but does someone know why is my dvd recorder recording 4505 bitrate, and my friend's 9500 ?
-
Compare the file size and ignore what it says about the bitrate because it can't be correct if it's a 2hours on dvd-r(4.7gb).

I dont know if its important. My friend's dvd recorder can record to disc only. My recorder records to HDD. But the files recorded on his recorder in mode of 2 hours are 9500 bitrate. My recording on HDD of 2 hours is 4500

There are usually 3 recording modes (there are actually more but are not worth mentioning)
XP mode = 1 hour or max of approx 9500 kbps (video and audio)
SP mode = 2 hour or max of approx 4500 kbps
LP mode = 4 hour or max of approx 4500 kbps but using half video (352*576) whereas SP mode uses full video (720*576) - PAL video
The only way that a two hour mode could have a bit rate of > 9500 kbps if it used half video or smaller and there is no sense in doing that. -
Well both are recorded in SP mode. Here are the pictures of the details.

check size in bytes, multiply by8, divide by duration in minutes, divide by 60 -> bitrate in bits/s
it isn't that hardSorry, I had to go see about a girl -

It seems that the friend's DVD recorder can use a higher bit rate when necessary but both machines may use average bit rates of about the same value.
