Low Video Bit Rate on Netflix Movies...

[dillon77]

Mine is set for high quality and has been downloading 1080p consistently in older versions. BUt I'm seeing variations in v3.2.0.0.

For example, Stowaway downloaded as...

Overall bit rate mode : Variable
Overall bit rate : 1 438 kb/s
Movie name : Stowaway
Video Bit rate mode : Variable
Video Bit rate : 1 238 kb/s
Maximum bit rate : 20.0 Mb/s
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels

Where as Casino Royale downloaded as...

Overall bit rate mode : Variable
Overall bit rate : 7 439 kb/s
Movie name : Casino Royale
Video Bit rate mode : Variable
Video Bit rate : 7 237 kb/s
Maximum bit rate : 20.0 Mb/s
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels

Oddly The Roommate came down as 960x540

Duration : 1 h 31 min
Overall bit rate mode : Variable
Overall bit rate : 602 kb/s
Movie name : The Roommate
Video Bit rate mode : Variable
Video Bit rate : 396 kb/s
Maximum bit rate : 10 000 kb/s
Width : 960 pixels

Most of mine downloaded English as default. BUT I did get one or two that German was default selected and I had to change to English.

I'm starting a new topic as the previous topic that this came from was for audio bit rates and video bit rates.

Like KidJoe (and others), I am seeing variations of the video bit rates in the videos downladed from Netflix ever since using the new download method in the neflix downloader. Unfortuantely, I see way more videos download with low video bit rates than high video bit rates.

I have my Netflex profile settings for HIGH (highest audio and video quality up to 3GB per hour for HD) and in previous versions of the Netflix Downloader (3.1.0.5 for example) I always got 1080P with much higher video bit rates than I get with the newest Netflix Downloader.

Is this being looked at/addressed by the developers?

We are trying to figure out a solution, time is needed, thanks.

Thanks Mona, I am noticing the very same thing since the changes to the Netflix downloader.

I see that when i downloaded any videos from netflix , i am getting High profile videos. If we get Main profile Video, then bit rate would be high

For example.. for the below movie, i got the Main profile Video

https://www.netflix.com/watch/81231988

where as for other movies, we are getting High profile and video bit rate is less

how can we make it consistent across all the videos ( downloadin Main profile) ?
