Video Bitrate

The parameter for video-bitrate specifies the video bitrate for encoding. This parameter will only work with fm=mp4 is set.

The parameter accepts a range of 1M to 5M.

Understanding Video Bitrates

Bitrate refers to the amount of data processed per second in a video file. A higher bitrate generally results in better quality but increases file size and bandwidth consumption.

• 1M (1 Mbps): Suitable for low-resolution video with minimal motion.
• 2M (2 Mbps): Works well for standard-definition (SD) video with average motion.
• 3M (3 Mbps): Ideal for high-definition (HD) video with moderate detail.
• 4M (4 Mbps): Recommended for full HD (1080p) content with high detail.
• 5M (5 Mbps): Best for high-quality 1080p video or content with fast motion.

Choosing the Right Bitrate

When selecting a bitrate, consider:

• Resolution: Higher resolution requires a higher bitrate.
• Motion Complexity: Fast-moving scenes need a higher bitrate to prevent artifacts.
• Bandwidth Considerations: Higher bitrates increase data usage.

Video Bitrate Comparison

The demo below compares bitrates starting at the highest (Original) to the lowest (1M). It shows how each bitrate affects the video quality and file size.
