bitrate

[Trini]

How do i calulate the bitrate of a avi to mpeg using TMPGEnc so i can get the my vcd under 800MB...Is there a calulator for this?

a VCD is 10 MB /minute. But you can make XVCD or SVCD use then any svcd calculator http://www.vcdhelp.com/tools.htm#calc

but which quality is better vcd or svcd?

If you want to calulate manually..

For example:
1 Byte = 8 Bit
1 KB = 1,024 Byte = 8,192 Bit
1 MB = 1,024 KB = 1,048,576 Byte = 8,388,608 Bit

----> Second, calculate how much data can fit on a CD:
Most CD holds 800 MB of data.

800 MB * 1,024 KB/MB * 8 bits/Byte = 6553600 kilobits (kbits)

----> Third, what data rate (kbits/sec) to use for encoding:

Let’s say you have a 30-minute video:

1) 30 min * 60 sec/min = 1800 sec
2) 6553600 kbits / 1800 sec = 3641 kbits/sec

Why is this important?
It simply tells you what video and audio data rate to set.


Video data rate: 3417 kbits/sec
Audio data rate: 224 kbits/sec

I hope this help
