Not sure if I'm doing this right...
I wanted to make a DVD of the cinematics that Blizzard releases with their games. I've
collected about 30 between Diablo, Diablo II, Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft.
Now what I'm not sure about is do I simply divide the max bitrate for a DVD by the
number of files? If so then that would mean each file can have a MAX bitrate of 319.
9570 (max dvd rate) / 30 (num. clips) = 319
The total running time for the clips is 1hr so I'm certainly not exceeding what a DVD can
handle but I can't compress each one to 319 kbps, that's ridiculous.
I can't use the total time in any bitrate calculators because they assume a single file
and I certainly can't compress 30 files to 9570kbps each...
Note: I've already resized the individual files to 720x480 widescreen using Huffyuv
Any tips would be appreciated, thanks. |

319kbps would be what you needed if you were playing all 30 clips simultaneously. When you're playing the clips back to back, each clip can hog the entire bitrate.
The calculation you actually need to do is to multiply bitrate times length to get the size of each clip, and then make sure the total size fits.

Ah, thanks. That clears things up.
I was stuck on the storage aspect and it didn't occurr to me that the bitrate
was actually about playing the video and not simply storing it. |
