benze 1 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Hi, I'm confused and trying to understand how the bitrate chosen when downloading a video affects the resolution that the video is played at. Or even, said in another way, if I know I only want to play a downloaded video at a given resolution (ex: SD 480), how do I know which bitrate to choose? If my source videos are anywhere from 720P - 4k, how do I minimize the downloaded file? Theoretically, bitrate should impact/affect resolution, but I have read other posts in the forum which seem to indicate a different story. Is there a correlation between bitrate and resolution? Thanks, Eric
Luke 39008 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 hi @benze, yes we need to make these options more descriptive and obvious, but if you choose a lower bitrate then the server will also reduce the resolution. If you want 480p I'd probably suggest around 1 mpbs or slightly lower. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.
