I thought I saw this somewhere in the past, but maybe I'm just demented. What
effect does increasing the bitrate have on the processor when doing MPEG4
encoding. For example, say you have a low end machine doing both front and
backend duties and you're trying to optimize overnight recordings. Assuming 320
x 480 capture resolution as a constant, does higher bitrate equate to less
processor work and therefore less likely to have lost frames but at the same
time give you larger files? (i.e. less compression == less work?)
