Bit rate mode

Defines what kind of bit rate Nero Recode is using.

Constant bit rate (CBR): Specifies a constant bit rate, i.e., the data

flow per unit of time and thus the quantity of the saved data is the

same over the entire media file.

Variable bit rate (VBR): Specifies a variable bit rate, i.e., the data

flow per unit of time and thus the quantity of the saved data adapts to

the dynamics of the media file. The bit rate, for example, can be

lowered at quieter points in the track.

VBR is not available when quality is set to Fit to target, because

VBR does not allow a precise target size estimation.

Average bit rate (ABR): Specifies an average bit rate, i.e. the data

flow per unit of time and thus the quantity of the saved data adapts to

the dynamics of the media file but the average bit rate tends to the

defined value. In principle it is a variable bit rate with a limited bit

band width and thus combining the advantages of the variable and

the constant bit rate.
