is there a tutorial or guide on calculating bitrate when setting up compression? ph34r.gif

use GKnot

go to 'Bitrate tab':

- enter the length of your movie
- choose your audio bitrate by using the dropp-down button (or even better: first transcode your audio stream and then load your encoded stream into GKnot)
- calculate your frame overhead by hitting the right spot
- and finally look over to the line: Average Bitrate

that's it...

and in case of bidirectionnal encoding ? (i think it isn't constant, but maybe...)

good point but a miscalculation of ~1MB is acceptable cool.gif

B-Frames have nothing to do with the bitrate ( or at least they shouldn't have in theory; a bad B-Frame implementation may influence the bitrate though )

it's VBR what causes "miscalculation" but modern VBR algorithms work precisly enough so even VBR shouldn't be a problem. Like Sill said: 1mb shouldn't really matter.
