Question

How do I get more control to target bitrate setting?

As currently I am recieving jobs from some broadcast companys as my clients, many of them will have certain requirment in bitrate.

 

Like for a lastest job that I recieved,

Video Codec: Mpeg2

Wrapper: MXF-OP1A

Bitrate: 50Mbps

Audio Bitrates: 384kbps

 

Yet I guess I didn't have the control for any of these on the panel (I know for H.264 mp4. you can set a target bitrate)

May I ask if there are any way to do or any 3rd-party plugin I can look into?
Thank you very much!

Export Settings:

Format: MXF OP1a

Preset: Custom

Video Codec: XDCAM HD 50 (4:2:2) - this is MPEG 2 at 50Mbps

When working with MXF OP1a Audio is uncompressed, you can choose 16 or 24 bit at 48000 Hz

and i found this:

24 bit, 48KHz 2,304 Kbps 288 KB

 

i think these settings are good to go for your required broadcast settings

I've tried 16bit sampling but the audio bitrate is still 768kbps.

I just figure out the the bitrate is already 50Mbps after export but I'll still need the audio bitrate to be limited under 384kbps.

Thank you very much!
