Hey man, I was intrigued by your formula for bit-rate calculation. I so happened to stumble upon this during a Google search for reducing the output file size of Sony Vegas. I know this post is over a year old, but it’s still relevant today if it popped up on the first search page of Google.

I just wanted to verify that your formula calculations were correct. I was following along with the 3600 and 2GB= 2,147,483,648, then divide. I understood the solution of 596,500 bytes per second

However once you multiplied, you lost me. Shouldn’t you divide again instead of multiplying? You already have the output in bytes so in order to get bits you should divide 596,500 by 8. You stated that there are 8 bits in one byte.
