[MEncoder-users] Capture tv signal with mencoder

[mierdatutis mi]

Thanks!

I understand that mpeg2(mpeg)  must have more size to can have the same
quality that mpeg4 (avi).

I have a program that I input a size that I would like to have the recording
and the program caculates the bitrate by this way:

mb*1000000*8/minutes*60/1000

So if I would like that a recording have 300mb the bitrate is 1333.

I would like to do this, but recording in mpeg, not in avi. How could I
calculate the bitrate, knowing  the size that I like have in the mpeg
file.??


Many thanks!!!
