Bitrate

Okay kiddo, let me explain what bitrate is. You know how you sometimes watch videos on your tablet or computer? Well, those videos are made up of lots and lots of tiny pictures that move really quickly to make it look like a video.

Now, these pictures take up space, and the more pictures there are in the video, the more space it will take up on your device. But sometimes, you don't want to wait for the video to load, you want to watch it right away!

That's where bitrate comes in. Bitrate is the rate at which the pictures in the video are delivered to your device. If the bitrate is high, the pictures will be delivered quickly, and you'll be able to watch the video without any pauses or buffering. But if the bitrate is low, the pictures will be delivered more slowly, and you might have to wait for the video to load before you can watch it.

Think of it like a straw - the higher the bitrate, the wider the straw, so the video can be delivered more quickly. The lower the bitrate, the narrower the straw, so it will take longer for the video to reach you.

So, in summary, bitrate is the rate at which pictures in a video are delivered to your device, and it determines how quickly you can watch the video without any pauses or loading times.
