Here :

The ResY formula (without 16 rounding) is

ResY = SQRT( 1000*Bitrate/(25*ARc*CQ)) or

(ResY)^2 = 1000*Bitrate/(25*ARc*CQ) or

CQ*ARc*(ResY)^2 = 1000*Bitrate/25

And since ResX = ResY * ARc (without 16 rounding too) that give :

CQ*(ResX/ResY)*(ResY)^2 = 1000*Bitrate/25
CQ*ResX*ResY = 1000*Bitrate/25

Are you Ok ?
