Overall bitrate and Space for video?

[Toranaga]

"Overall Bitrate" and "Space for video". Wich of these actually states the bitrate for the main movie?

Neither.

One tells you the overall bitrate of everything, main movie and extras. If you don't have any extras, than it does tell you the bitrate of the main movie.

The other tells you the amount of space (in MB) left over for all the video to be re-encoded after calculating the space needed for menus, audio, and any video too small to bother re-encoding.

If you want to see a break down of the different VTSs I recommend ECLOptimiser, which can be found in the Overview sticky. Use it to open the Rebuilder.ecl file in the D2VAVS folder of the working directory after you have run the prepare step.

If your extras and the main movie are all in the same VTS then you should try RBOpt, also in the Overview sticky, since it it better at grouping individual VOBids and previewing segments.

I have a question. Are there any programs that can show you bitrate graphically? I know there is BitRateView ... but it won't deal with VOB files, only .m2v files.

Is there any program out there that can basically read a VIDEO_TS.IFO file and the corresponding VOBs and then spit out charts for the various titlesets? I would *LOVE* something like this.

@ raddygast

Actually Bitrateviewer can open individually .Vob files.
