bitrate calculation - the program

[darkklown]

hi,

does any1 know the algorithm of how you
work out the bitrate for divx4?

i'm writing a little program to do all the
dvd ripping for me but i can't find the
algorithm in any howto, only them saying
to get advanced bitrate calculator

don't u love answering your own questions..



(bitrate(kbps) = (size(in Mb)*8*1024)/(hour*3600+min*60+seconds)

I seem to recall reading another post a couple of days ago (by, I believe, "khp") which indicated that, although the use of 1,024 bytes is correct for the DivX v.3.11alpha codec, for some reason, conversion with the 4.xx codecs required a factor of 1,000 instead.
