The bit rate of a video governs the amount of detail a video can display. Even a high resolution video with a low bit rate will be blocked and distorted. Fortunately, it's easy to find out the bitrate of any video on Windows or macOS.
In equal conditions, a higher bit rate in a video results in a more detailed image quality. You can find out the bitrate of any video with the tools that come integrated with both Windows and macOS..
NOTE: Most videos also use a variable bit rate that can change from one moment to the next.. This method will show a general bitrate, which is useful for setting the overall quality of the video, but if you want to see how the bitrate of a video changes over time, you can use VLC for that. At the same time, if you want to see in more detail the properties of a video, Media information is a powerful cross-platform tool that enables you to examine a file in depth.
Despite this, if you are only interested in finding out the bitrate of a video, there is a simple way. In Windows, right-click on the file you want to browse and choose Properties.
In the window that appears, click the Details tab.
In the Video section, the information you are interested in is “Total bit rate”.
The total bit rate will give you a general idea of the quality of your video. This is useful if you want to compare two videos that have the same resolution., or if you are curious to know how much a file has been compressed.
To find this information on a Mac, find the video you want to browse and open it in QuickTime.
Once the video is open, press Command + I to open the Information window. Here, you will see an item labeled Data Rate. This will tell you the overall bitrate of your video.
Again, both Windows and macOS only show a general bitrate. Most of the videos you will watch use a variable bit rate that adjusts the image quality based on what is currently displayed on the screen.. If you want to see how the bitrate changes while watching, you can use VLC to do exactly that. It is also possible that Windows or QuickTime does not read a bit rate correctly. Sometimes, this can happen if the metadata of a video file is not formatted correctly. Then, you can use Media information for more detailed technical information.
