Hands down the best simple explanation of this topic on youtube.

Finally, an easy to understand explanation. Thanks for presenting this knowledge!

The best explanation on youtube. Thanks Bro

I was assigned to watch this for my college audio-editing class, and I found this quite an informative video! I have learned several new terms today: sample rate, bit depth, and bit rate, as well as some other terms.

Thanks for the video! I'll subscribe!

the first sinewave tone got me a heart attack

This deserves a lot more views.

Thank you for this very detailed and quick explanation. I have watched tons of videos and none of them explained it as well and concise as you. Please start making more videos on Audio.

Yay College,... to be honest I learned a lot from this video thank you.

Thanks a ton for explain things to me. Really appreciate it!

Fantastic Video!

great video, thank you so much!

very clear and concise thank you for the wisdom

Thanks.

thank you

Digital sound is not improved by higher bit rates. A sound is NOT a picture and sound is not reproduced by 'joining the dots'.   More sample points do not lead to more detail.  A wave is reconstructed using maths,  it will be perfect at any bit depth.  More bits simply means less noise.  Higher sampling rates affect the highest frequency you can capture in a band limited signal.   Read up on the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem.

Sadly  more bits does not capture more sound detail. More bits affects the noise floor. The more bits,  the less noise or the noise is lower.  Pictures and sound are two completely different things.  Sound is recorded by math equations. Simply  the maths always add up to one solution.  The sound is captured perfectly but the quantising (bit depth) adds errors which adds noise.   The noise on a 16 bit recording is too low to  hear unless you boost it to deafening levels.

I would add that not all WAV files are uncompressed, although most of them are. The exceptions are WAV files using ADPCM compression.

Which bitrate is the best for 1080p video in handbrake

it will be better with a black background -  it too bright

mp3 needs to be at least 1000kps, but it isn't.  Avoid.
