Bitrate Calculator

This tool was made to help users to calculate aspect of digital videos, especially related with : nominal bit-rate, storage space, and overall media duration.

- Video bit-rate
Existing video file can be too large to fit the target media, thus requiring the file to be transcoded and compressed. By using this tool, the users can calculate the target video bit-rate so that the transcoding result fits the target media. Especially on services that limits the file size such as Whatsapp or email attachment, the users can calculate what is the proper bitrate of the media file so they will be able to transmit the full video without needing to cut or splice.

- Duration
This tool especially useful for the users to calculate the length of the video can be stored on a media. For example, by knowing the typical output bit-rate of their digital video recorder (DVR) for security cameras or TVs, the users may estimate how many hours a hard-disk drive able to store.

- Media size
On some devices such as action cameras or smartphones, the recorded video bit-rate often cannot be adjusted. With this tool the users can calculate the required space of the storage media such as SD Cards for specific video duration. This way the users able to plan ahead and prepare enough storage to record videos.
