Dear Friends, Recently, I burned 2 dvs movies to CD for a friend. One was 420 MB and the other was 130 MB in size. They asked me why one movie was so much larger in size than the other. Well, I had converted one movie from .ogg format to mp3 format, and forgot to change the Bit from 320 to perhaps 128 with my "Switch" converter. The other smaller size movie was already in mp3 format, so that one I did not have to convert to mp3 as my friend cannot open and play .ogg files in their Windows Media Player, they do not have the "Plug-in" I have.
Now, sorry to be so long about this question, but I had a hard time explaining the difference in a audio file with a bit rate of 320 as opposed to a smaller size bit rate. I know when uploading or downloading I get a message stating I am uploading at a bit rate of for example 50.5 KB/sec, and I download at around 750 KB/sec, but how does one state the Bit Rate of an "Audio file"? I mean, it is not KB/sec as when you are uploading or downloading. I do not know what or how you would call the Bit rate of an "Audible File", does some one have a clear explanation that I can understand? I would very much appreciate it!
