MP4 Transfer Rate ?

[NewTwoVideo]

Hi Everyone,

I enjoy Youtube videos so much that I download some of them and put them onto a BD-R as .mp4 files so that I can play them in my set top Blu-ray player and watch them on my HDTV.

Recently, I ran out of BD-R's, so I saved the .mp4's onto a DVD-R and tried it in the set top Blu-ray player. It seems to work fine.

What is the transfer rate of 1920x1080 video in .mp4 format?
Am I losing any quality using a DVD-R as media instead of BD-R since the transfer rate is much slower?

TIA

No quality difference.

But if the video bitrate is larger than the transfer rate for a significant amount of time, you will get buffer underruns and stuttering playback . But the chance of that is extremely low for a 1080p Youtube video . The slowest, oldest BD players that could use non authored files on DVD5 media could even playback anything below 15000Mb/s, which far exceeds what youtube uses
