Bitrate tab

Bitrate is the most critical factor in streaming video. The total bitrate is the audio bitrate plus the video bitrate together. No matter what you select on the other tabs, the final file will have a bitrate that is equal to the one selected on this tab. It is possible to select audio bitrates that are higher than the total bitrate on the Bitrate tab. 

On the Bitrate tab, you can select a number of different target bitrates for the final file. The size of the file will need to be large enough for the higher bit rate, but all of the selected bitrates will be available on the Windows Media Video Server.
