Bitrate on a camera and on a video aren't comparable. The camera has to use a compression algorithm that can run real time on very low power (the cpu in a camera is probably ~5-10 watts. Anything non-real-time video will have been re-compressed and can probably maintain quality at roughly half the bitrate.


well if I could get sufficient bitrate to display my cute hummingbird video I would be very happy
