# VideoBitrate

The bit rate to use for the encoded video, in bytes per second. A higher value can result in improved video quality, but will consume more disk space.

Setting this parameter overrides the default value in the encoding profile specified by VideoProfile. Unless you have specific requirements, Micro Focus recommends using the default value defined in the profile.

CAUTION: If you set a custom bit rate that is not supported by the video codec, the encoding engine will not start.
