You may experience problem creating QuickTime 1920x1080 files with H.264 codec with the correct bitrate from HDV files.
The files you created may become 96 mbits/seconds whether you set the bitrate to 6Mbps, 7.680Mbps or 76.80Mbps.
the bitrate does change, just not the same as what you set.
| AME set to (kbps) | QT 7.1.6 reports /s | QT 7.2 reports mbits/sec |
|---|---|---|
| 6,000 | 293.2 KB | 2.31 |
| 7,680 | 578.74 KB | 4.74 |
| 20,000 | 581.20 KB | 4.76 |
| 40,000 | 786 KB | 6.45 |
| 80,000 | 1.49 MB | 12.51 |
| 144,000 | 2.65 MB | 22.31 |
The alternative of using the Export movie as QuickTime is even worse. Since you cannot set bitrate in that dialog box, it creates files that are 109Mbps.
It does a little better in the newer version. Setting bitrate at 7680kbps gives you 9.28Mbps
