[metallifreak27]

I use constant: 8mbps for video and 384kbps for audio About 4GBs/1hr. I think we can't go higher.

thanks mate

just double checking

I try to keep the bitrate high, so I don't lose as much quality from the HD video. I usually do this :

Max - 9,800,000
Avg - 8,400,000
Min - 3,800,000

No magic formula, I just try to stick to those. It works for me. I'm sure there's a better number, but this is what I do.

yes, but sometimes the bitrate is too high to play in some dvd players

Only time it's been a problem for me is when I've put the AVG over 9mbps. Then w/ the audio, the bitrate goes over 9.8, which causes skips.

Like I said, works for me, but there may be a better way.

you have also to pay attention on how much audio sources you add.

You're right, Bernd. I found that out the hard way once
