Question
Low Bit Rate but Big File

I am encoding a 10 second video in the .h264 format. I want the file size to be around 2MB.
The video is encoding at 2mbps CBR, but also I tried VBR 1 and 2 passes. There is no audio. The file size ends up encoding to around 52MB. In the file info, the bit rate is labeled as 2mbps. It's only 10 seconds--this math doesn't make sense. If I convert the encoded video to .mov in Quicktime, it becomes 2MB.
Why is it 52MB as an mp4 file?
