Understanding Video Bit Rates
Bit rate refers to the amount of data processed per second in a video file. A higher bit rate 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 Bit Rate
When selecting a bit rate, consider:
- Resolution: Higher resolution requires a higher bit rate.
- Motion Complexity: Fast-moving scenes need more data to prevent artifacts.
- Bandwidth Considerations: Higher bit rates increase data usage.
