    From Glossary:

    Bitrate
    Bitrate or Bit Rate is the average number of bits that one second of video or audio data will consume. Higher bitrate means bigger file size and generally better video or audio quality while lower bitrate means lower file size but worse video or audio quality. Some bitrate examples in common video and audio files:
    MP3 about 128 kbps (kilobits per second)
    VCD about 1374 kbps
    DVD about 4500 kbps
    DV about 25 Mbps (megabits per second).

    Hello,
    Bitrate is the "quality" of the video and/or audio. The higher the bitrate, generally the better the picture or sound. VCD is low bitrate (1150) and doesn't look very good. DVD (2500 and up) is excellent (some will argue with me on that) because of better compression technology.

    Audio bitrate is how well the sound is stored. CD Wavs {before made into mp3) are 1400 I believe. CD Quality mp3 uses 128 bit. Using smaller bitrates save space but usually results in lower quality.

    P.S. I'm no expert but this should be a starting point for you.
