video bitrate minus audio

[rikit]

I want to know how to figure out the bitrate for my video only using the bitrate calculator. I don't want to include audio at all, none. The bitrate calculator will want to know about audio, but I am not including it. So, how should I go about doing so using the bitrate calculator to only find my bitrate size and not include any audio calculations with it ? Will it let you pick none for audio, I don't think it will. Should I pick its lowest setting?

Bitrate calc is just theoretical science.
Remember this.

The encoder very often can and will act differently.
So files may be a bit smaller or larger, often depending on something as simple as the GOP or DC.

You could just add the audio bitrate to the calculated video bitrate and just use that figure.

I assume you're talking about this Bitrate Calculator. If so, there's a number of things you can do:


1. Select "custom" for the audio, and this should automatically set it to 0:




2. Add the audio bitrate to the calculated video bitrate as already suggested.

3. Set the audio bitrate to 64kbps or some other small value, then just use whatever the video bitrate is calculated at anyway. This gives you a little buffer to allow for encoder inconsistencies, authoring overheads, etc etc. I wouldn't be working it out to the exact kilobit

Thanks everyone.

in the picture above, you can also put a zero for the number of "tracks"
