Average bitrate

Okay kiddo, let’s talk about something called average bitrate. Have you ever watched a video on YouTube or listened to music on Spotify? Well, when we watch videos or listen to music online, data is being transferred from the internet to our device so that we can enjoy the content.

This data is measured in something called “bits,” which are tiny pieces of data. Now, the average bitrate is the amount of data being transferred per second. It tells us how much data is being used to send the video or audio to our device.

Think of it like this: when you drink water from a straw, the amount of water you drink per second is like the average bitrate. If you drink slowly, less water comes out and your average bitrate (amount of water you drink per second) is lower. But if you drink quickly, more water comes out and your average bitrate is higher.

The same goes for videos and music. If the video or music file has a high average bitrate, that means more data is being transferred per second. This can result in a better quality video or audio with fewer interruptions or buffering.

So, when you’re watching videos or listening to music online, the average bitrate can affect how smooth and clear the content is – just like how the speed at which you drink water can affect how thirsty you feel!
