Windows 10: Video capture - what bitrate should I chose

Hi folks

I have a video capture program (VIVA studio) which captures a 1920 X 1080p HD video signal from a hardware capture device via HDMI. The HDMI splitter simply splits signal from a SKY Q box or am Amazon fire stick - depending on what I want to capture into the monitor and a hardware capture device.

The HDMI splitter passes through the HDMI signal simply spltting off any DRM (the cheap chinese splitters work perfectly --the expensive ones retain the DRM).

What bit rate should I use - I want the output signal to be as near lossless as possible -- I've been experimenting with 4000 kbs which looks fine on a 48 inch monitor --but is it worth while capturing the video at any higher bit rates. The capture device can be set to higher rates but I think for true 1080p one should use around 5000 kbs but I can't actually detect any difference in video quality. Could be the source transmission isn't actually full HD but more like 720p in which case a bit rate of 3000 kbs is probably adequate.

I'm sure there's loads of people on these forums who muck about with Video so any guidance here is welcome.
Audio is no problem.

Cheers

x6 video/audio playback support

I am considering to get x6 and have few questions.



I want to use a third party video convertor for better and faster conversion and need following information.



what is the max X264 playback resolution and FPS?

what is the X264 max bitrate it can process without any lag and what is optimal X264 bitrate (with max supported resolution and FPS)?





Similerly i want to know the video capturing support as below.



Does it support x264 video capturing?

What is max bit rate of recording in AAC?



Same information is also required for x263.



Looking for good information.

 

N90 video capture bitrate

Sorry, have been away from my Nokias for a while

Decided the N90 wasn't for me in the end.

Anyway, it looks like a bit of confusion somewhere in the advertised bitate (not necessarily by Nokia) and the actual phone.

I am impressed with the video recording (I now own an N70, which is great) so we'll leave it there.

Good to see decent video recording in "normal" handsets like the N70, I tried it on a Samsung D600, and apart from the horrible UI, the video is only good in perfect lighting.

In even slightly dim surroundings, it goes to pieces!

N70 is loads better. Good job Nokia, i'm back, and this time for a while I hope
