Continued Useful Facts What is the relationship between bit rate, sound quality, and storage size?Generally, higher bit rates provide better sound quality, but require more storage space for the same length of audio, so you can store fewer songs on the player. Lower bit rates enable you to store more songs, but at a lower sound quality. Note Table of Contents Home Menu If you import a song from a CD to your computer at a low bit rate, you cannot improve the song's sound quality by selecting a high bit rate when further transferring the song from the computer to the player. Index What is video format? Video format refers to the method used when importing video and audio data to a computer and saving it as a video file. Common formats include MPEG-4 and AVC, etc. MPEG-4: MPEG-4 refers to Moving Picture Experts Group phase 4, developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). The compression format is for video and audio data. AVC: AVC refers to Advanced Video Coding, developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). It enables reproduction of more vivid images at a lower bit rate. AVC files include four profiles, and "AVC Baseline Profile" is one of them. AVC format is based on the MPEG-4 AVC standard of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization), and since AVC is standardized as the MPEG-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding, it is commonly referred to as MPEG-4 AVC/H. 264 or H. 264/AVC. WMV: WMV (Windows Media Video) is a video compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation.
