  • In compressor, can’t get my bit rate higher than 6.2

    Posted by Kent Gunnufson on February 19, 2007 at 10:22 pm

    I’ve set the settings the highest setting at an average bit rate of 7.7 in the quality tab of compressor, but when the finishes, it says the abr is 6.2. I’ve got more room on the disk and need to know how to get the rate the settings claim. anyone got some thoughts on this?

    Constant bit rate can result in a higher average rate than variable. CBR is often recommended if you have the space for it.
    A shorter GOP can yield a higher average bit rate.
    More compression markers will force more I frames, which will up the average bit rate.

    What’s the nature of your movie? Are you using CBR?
