• The movie bitrate is the volume of movie data recorded per second. As a
variable bitrate (VBR)system has been adopted, the movie recording rate varies
automatically according to the subject so that more data is recorded per
second for movies containing frequently moving subjects, thus increasing
movie file size.
• The frame rates are approximately 24 frames per second (fps) for HD 720p
(1280x720) and 30 frames per second (fps) for VGA (640x480) or QVGA
(320x240).
