Bitrate
Bitrate is a term used to describe the amount of data processed per unit of time in a digital format. It is commonly used in reference to audio and video files to determine the quality and size of the file.
Bitrate is measured in bits per second (bps) and can vary depending on the compression method used. A higher bitrate generally means better quality, but also results in larger file sizes. On the other hand, a lower bitrate may result in reduced quality, but smaller file sizes.
For example, a music file with a bitrate of 320 kbps (kilobits per second) will have higher quality than a file with a bitrate of 128 kbps. Similarly, a video file with a bitrate of 4 Mbps (megabits per second) will have better resolution than a file with a bitrate of 1 Mbps.
It is important to consider bitrate when encoding or compressing audio and video files, as it directly affects the quality and size of the final product.
Examples of Bitrate:
- Audio file: 128 kbps
- Video file: 2 Mbps
