What are the bit rates like for DVD? - Blu-ray Forum

tron3 · 01-08-2008, 07:09 PM

I don't have my BD player connected via HDMI so I can't check this myself.

I know bit rates top off at 10 Mb for DVD, but what is the bit rate when you upconvert the picture?

What do bit rates look like for blu-ray when you play them at 480 or 720p?

Thanks all for the help.

The content's "bitrate" doesn't change when your player converts, resizes, scales, 'upconverts', etc. anything... DVD, Blu-Ray, media files, etc.

If you are talking about digital HDMI cable bandwidth, that is something you honestly don't need to worry about.

DVD top 10mbits, but it's very very rare that a studio use that much. Most are around 6mbits.

BluRay can top 50mbits with Audio. So some title peak to 47 with audio, a couple of title from Fox are steady 38mbits... but most are around 20-30mbits..
