Hello

Can anyone tell me what is the minimun Bitrate in CCE multipass(3) to use in a movie ?

Thanks.

This belongs to the CCE forum. Check where you post please.

I use 0 as a min bitrate in VBR encoding.
Some say some players may not like it and advice using 300 as a minimum value.

The DVD specs call for a minimum data rate of 2Mb/s . So subtract the audio bitrate from 2Mb/s, to calculate the minimum video bitrate.

Sorry but i think that i don't put the question clearly.

I would like to know what is the minimun bitrate but in the average text box, the minimun aceptable to a movie.

Thanks

You mean what minimum value should be used dor the average bitrate when encoding with CCE ?

Well, depends on the movies, and depends on the format you are targetting.

If you do SVCD, I think anything under 2200kbs/s as an average bitrate is not good enough (still depends on the movie itself)

As for DVD, I would say something around 3500-4000 Kbs (depends a lot on the movie itself and on how much space you have left on your DVDR to put the movie).
