Video File Help

[videoquestion123]

Hi All,

See attachments of two video files I have downloaded.

Can someone please break it down to me what would be causing the big difference in file size between these 2? As far as I can see they are both 720. However one of them is almost 3 times as big as the other, despite being of shorter duration. Can someone break this down for me very simply please.

Thanks,

Mathematically
filesize = bitrate x running time

In practice this means, for typical consumer lossy video,
the final size can have a big latitude depending on the settings chosen

The 1st file is ~2Mbps, the 2nd file is ~8Mbps.

And unless the larger file was messed up by whooever encoded it it should look a LOT better. I don't really think it's possible to get high quality 720p video in a <1Gb file using AVC. HEVC, yes.

2Mbps is quite typical for compressed H264 internet video @720p.

The 2nd video is simply less compressed than the first.
