XvidCalc

Preparing a clip for a presentation, editing video data for your college project, or simply wanting to achieve the best possible viewing conditions for your favorite movie, there’s a high probability that you’ve considered aspects such as ratio, resolution, frame rate, as well as bit rate. When wanting to quickly determine which bitrate would be the best choice for a given resolution and frame rate, users can rely on XvidCalc, which will provide a simple calculator that yields the requested data in a matter of seconds.

The application comes sporting a truly basic, truncated design, and although usually, we’d make a statement about such circumstances, in this case, we feel that the choice of interface and layout are appropriate, given the application’s scope and intended purpose.

Users will have to manually input the preferred frame rate and resolution data, and although this is simple enough, maybe future iterations of the app will see the implementation of direct drag-and-drop of video files for extracting the required information.

Having inputted the required data, users will then be able to preview the resulting bitrate instantaneously, by simply running the computation process through the on-screen button.

Leaving basic functionality aside, it would have been great to see additional ways of saving the inputted set of frame rate and resolution, combined with resulting bitrate data, in order to have it readily available in some format, for further iterations.

Give XvidCalc a try, if you seek a simple solution for calculating a bitrate that best reflects and corresponds to a set of frame rate and resolution data.
