Handbrake is an amazing tool for ripping your DVDs and converting your video files, but figuring out the right settings can be a challenge. Let our Handbrake Video Bitrate calculator do the work for you.
With just a little input on your part, the calculator will provide you with a video bitrate to use. Before you get started, there are a couple of things to keep in mind:
- Quality definitely differs between low, medium and high but low isn't going to make your video look like crap either. All your options are designed to be watch-able, but the bigger the screen the higher you'll want to set the quality. When in doubt, Medium is always a good choice.
- If you're just encoding for your computer, just go for it. If you're encoding for your mobile device, be sure to check its encoding specifications (for example, here are specs for the iPhone). While this calculator aims to stay within the bounds of mobile devices (at least at the 'Low' quality setting), it's possible it may exceed your device's capabilities. It's always best to double-check before putting in the time to encode a long movie.
- The reason this calculator only handles video is because audio bitrate is going to be restricted by your device. For example, Apple devices should always encode stereo audio at 160kbps. A sampling rate of 48Khz is what you're going to want to use in almost every case. If you don't have any device restrictions, we recommend 256kbps for stereo audio. Feel free to choose whatever you'd like, but as a reference point you should know that most of the music you buy online is encoded at 192kbps.
Okay, that's all, have fun!

Realtime Landscaping Pro landscape design software convinced me to advance from drawing plans the old way to letting landscape design software do it for me. My prior attitude toward landscape design software programs had been that, when it comes right down to it, I'd still rather throw away a messed-up first draft done on paper than search under a landscape design software's 'Help' menu to learn how a tool works.' But Realtime Landscaping Pro has changed my mind about landscape design software.
Pros

- I was surprised by the plant library at the user's disposal in this landscape design software.
- You can import photos into Realtime Landscaping Pro landscape design software.
- This landscape design software allows you to 'brainstorm' with water features and decks.
Cons
- As with any landscape design software, you'll have to study the 'Help' contents for optimal use.

- This landscape design software has an extensive plant library with information about each plant.

I had my doubts when I first sat down with Realtime. Programs I had used before never 'wowed' me. Considering their mediocre visual quality, studying up on their tools just didn't seem to be worth the effort.
Realtime changed my mind and brought me into the 21st century. Browse 'Help' to learn the full scope of this landscape design software; but the tools are reasonably intuitive. You can immediately sit down and produce a drawing of good visual quality -- a major plus for those who like to just 'dive' into a task.
But this landscape design software has more than drawing tools. Don't know where to start? Just open a sample plan or a wizard. Want to tinker with a plan reflecting your current yard? There's another wizard to help you import one of your own photos off your desktop.

You can also import photos of individual elements (e.g., a tree). But if you choose to stick to Realtime's plant library instead, you won't be disappointed, as it contains numerous images of sample plants. And these are not simply arbitrary, mindless representations. They're 'smart' images, in the sense that info about the specific plant is programmed into the image. You can even compare views: what a plant looks like when young, versus its mature size.
But the piece de resistance is the 'Walkthrough' feature. Experience your new creation in realistic 3D with rippling water, wind, shadows, etc. It's the next best thing to walking through the yard of your dreams.
