1 bit modb
1 bit modb2
2bit mb_type
6bit cbp
2bit dquant
1bit interlaced dct
1bit mv type
4bit field select
2*2*2*20bit motion vectors
6*64*30bit dct coefficoents (YV12! otherwise its more)
47bit video packet header

-> 11745 bits per MB -> ~width*height*5.735

but note, if width and height are small then the size of the various headers 
must be considered too ...
