[John Rofrano] “Having said all this I don’t understand why you need it. Your source is your acquisition format and your project is your delivery format and no one delivers 80Mbps video so I see no need for this high a bit rate.”
That is what I really wanted to know. Looking at the video side by side (original and the one rendered at 25 Mbps) they look the same quality. I am new at video editing but have experience with using Photoshop and when you reduce a file size you loose quality, that is what I was comparing it to.
