Useful tools for editors. Part 11.
By S Simmons. Filed in Editing, Useful tools for editors |
Bitrate Calc is a “little utility that gives you the optimum bitrate for encoding video and audio for making DVD and DivX video discs. Simply enter the length of the video in hours, minutes, and seconds, choose your media type, select your audio bitrate, and click the Calculate button. That’s it!”
If you author a lot of dvds then you know there is that bit of math involved to get the bitrate just right. Like many useful tools for editors, they are about doing a bit less math and getting on with work. This utility does just that.
Straight from the RAILhead Design site, features include:
- Built-in version checking.
- Simple, clean, and clear interface.
- Supports DVD sizes, from DVD1 to DVD18.
- Supports audio bitrates from 64 to 1536.
- Displays breakdown of estimated audio and video sizes.
- Real-time custom video size-on-disc slider.
- 100% FREE!
