Cool.
Will also just say that generally it's a good idea to look things up on
wikipedia - even quicker to get there using ResearchIt in jaws 12 etc.

Thanks Jacob,
This is a great explanation, and thanks for the link to the wikipedia

Here's a link to the wikipedia article on bitrate:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitrate
Aside from that, in terms of audio files, in general, the bitrate is
referred to in kbps = kilo bits per second - as in each second of the
audio
track would include something like 192 kilo bits, and since each byte is 8
bits, that means 192 kilobits = 24 kilobytes per second, and since a
megabyte is 1024 kilo bytes, that means that if an audio track is 100
seconds long (to just use an easy number to work with) it would have a
size
of 2400 kilo bytes, which then translates to 2.34 megabytes.
Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Bit Rate
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!
With Best Regards,
