Bitrate


The rate at which data is acquired when a video is being recorded, which can provide as a crude but still somewhat helpful indication to the quality of the film that is being recorded. High bitrates require more powerful cameras and additional storage capacity, but the end result is video of higher quality with fewer compression artifacts.
