Is there a minimum bitrate constraint in MPEG2?
For I want to generate bitrate as low as possible.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
Best regards,
Davy

I'm saying that MPEG encoders by nature usually allow either
quality-based encoding (constant quality throughout the file), or
bitrate-based encoding (constant bitrate/size per second throughout the
file), or both. So it doesn't matter what size you're working with, if
you want a file that doesn't chew up more than 150KB/s then that's what
you set the bitrate to.
Of course, larger bitrates result in larger files, but the larger the
file is the better it looks.

MPEG-1 can indeed be encoded at 720x480 but if you're working with
interlaced material you should be using MPEG-2. MPEG-1 has no
provisions for working with interlaced source material and the output
is worse.

4 Mbit/s is probably the maximum bitrate allowed in MP@LL. You can't
compare it to the 1.5 Mbit/s of mpeg1

Mpeg2 because it is more powerfull than mpeg1

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your help!
Do you mean when I use the same compression parameter to generate MPEG1
or MPEG2, the compression ratio will be the same?
My target is PC. And can MPEG1 be expanded to 720*480*30?
All the best,
Davy

You've got a few things confused. First of all, MPEG can use any
bitrate you want, so that's why the bitrates are different in your
samples. Secondarly, 352x288@30 isn't typical; I think you're thinking
of VCD PAL which is 352x288 @ 25fps. If that's your target, VCD PAL
MPEG-1 would give you the most compatibility across platforms.
