Mark's DVD Bitrate Calculator 1.1

Mark's DVD Bitrate Calculator is a lightweight utility for planning DVD-Video encodes. It helps you determine the optimal average and maximum video bitrates so your project fits on a disc without unpleasant surprises or unnecessary quality loss. Enter your total runtime, choose DVD-5 or DVD-9 capacity, add your audio bitrate(s), and include overhead for menus or extras; the calculator instantly provides safe, DVD-compliant targets.

Key features:

• Fast bitrate calculations based on runtime, disc size, and audio bitrate(s)
• Presets for PAL and NTSC, with DVD-legal max/min limits
• Supports multiple titles and multiple audio tracks
• Optional overhead and safety margin to prevent oversizing
• Real-time feedback on target size and remaining space
• Clear guidance for CBR or VBR planning
• Simple, no-frills interface for quick pre-encode planning

Who it’s for:

• Video enthusiasts archiving home movies
• Event videographers
• Anyone authoring episodic compilations or multi-title DVDs

Note: This tool provides calculations; you will still need a separate encoder and authoring application to create the final DVD.
