Video Bitrate

[Toadinohio]

I have a DVD that I recorded and authored.
I checked the video bitrate in G-Spot but the DVD has 3 .VOB files, each with a slightly different bit rate.

VTS_01_1.VOB is 6407 kbps
VTS_01_2.VOB is 6592 kbps
VTS_01_3.VOB is 6828 kbps

Should I list the lowest or highest?
Should I add all 3 (19827) and take the avg (6609)?

I have all the other info and synched audio from my CSB source and made it LCPM.
This bitrate thing is the only stumbling block.

Thanks

Average is the most correct. It's better to check m*v file rather than VOBs, however, difference is usually negligible.

Thanks for the reply
I assumed the avg was correct but wanted to check to be sure.

I am afraid I don't know what m*v file is.
I was followin the faq for video uploading and it does not mention this and I couldn't find anything on google.

VOB is a container, and when audio and video streams are separated (demuxed) you get:
* Video only, which has extension m2v or mpv
* Audio: ac3, mp2 (or mpa), wav

Thanks for the info-

(I didn't realize earlier that '*' was being used as a wild card- I was thinking "that is a really odd file name" LOL- my brain clearly did not have enough caffeine)

I searched the archives here and found a post you made about MPEG Streamclip and ProjectX.
Interesting stuff- looks like it will be very useful to me.
