Ok, I'm aware there are plenty of bitrate calculators out there, plenty of good bitrate calculators. But I just made one myself, mostly for myself (doing those calculations is a pain :P). Buut.. its pretty simple, and it has some neat functions too. Instance, it can calculate the bits per pixel percentage of an encode, can calculate the total bitrate (with audio) and the video bitrate (total - audio), and I included a nifty little thing that converts audio bitrate for 5.1 encodes. That is... if you're used to using like 96 kbps for stereo audio and you've suddenly decided to encode in surround, just put 96 in and it will tell you the = bitrate for 5.1 audio (approximately).
You can input either megabytes, kilobytes, or both for the first part and likewise with hours, minutes, and seconds. These also have to be filled out for the bits per pixel calculations to work. Theres 2 audio inputs because mostly I use 2 audio streams (english and japanese).
You can use it to calculate the bitrate for full cd encodes, 50mb amvs, or pretty much anything else.
Btw, its visual basic meaning you need some dll from microsoft.com but chances are you already have it.
so um yea... have fun
