Imanuel Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Hello. Question for experts : Why is it that when I unite/combine two video with a similar bit rate and use default bit rate on VideoPad the resulting video is always obtained with a much larger bit rate, sometimes multiplication or more? So with one video 1000 kbps and second 1200 kbps the result can be 2000 kbps, 3000kbps or more. Of course, this affects the size of the consequential file which becomes much larger than both video combined. Some clue? Thanks. Imanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Combined a 639 bitrate WMV with a 1631 AVI here at the default export quality setting. The result: 514Kbps. Try various quality settings or even a different compressor, such as MPEG4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imanuel Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 No,no, I don't ask for action yet. I have no idea if it is good or bad. The file size is not so important for me, I just want to know if I have quality benefit or just "inflate" video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 That's probably subjective, and may depend upon the how the export is viewed. If you see no difference, try a lower quality setting, which should result in a smaller file size. Resolution, too, affects size. IMO, folks tend to be oversold on very high res video, when lower would look nice on the device being used to display it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imanuel Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 OK. One last question. If I increase data rate in a given video, will its quality improve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imanuel Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Thanks, Borate. I really feel a bit of an idiot. I could search and find it myself. I must have become addicted to you. Good luck with your work. You've always done it great. Imanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
