If you want to indicate the overall bit rate, make sure to set the one value as 0.
Calculate the video's file size
After confirming this line by pressing the Enter key, you can enter the video duration in hours, minutes and seconds by following the format displayed (hh mm ss).The new file size is instantly calculated in the next step and shown in megabytes and gigabytes. Afterward, Filesize Calculator asks you if you want to restart the task or to exit.
