📹 Video Bitrate Calculator

Calculate the required video bitrate based on resolution, frame rate, and quality settings. This helps estimate file sizes and streaming requirements.

How It Works

Formula: Bitrate (Mbps) = Width × Height × FPS × Quality Factor × 0.000001

The quality factor represents bits per pixel per frame. Higher resolutions, frame rates, and quality settings require higher bitrates. The file size is calculated as: Bitrate × Duration ÷ 8 (to convert bits to bytes).

Note: These are estimates. Actual bitrates vary based on codec efficiency (H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1), content complexity, and encoder settings.
