Here's a link to the best DVD Bitrate calculator I have found. It is a standalone program, not an Internet based calculator. It has a lot of useful features and is very accurate.
is the more current version than 1.06 above -- but be carefull as this bitrate calculator gives to high a value for max bite rate and suggested upper and lower values are incorrect for the most part for VBR ..
John;
I agree that it is, without a doubt, the best one I have ever used.
Thank you VERY much for putting it on your site. Hope you plan to keep it there for a very long time :-)
