    But yet in the 2nd screenshot when It finished downloading the movie it's 2.10 GB. I'm trying to save space on my external but StreamFab isn't helping me by telling me the wrong birates. Yeah it's not that big of a difference buit it still matters for some of us who need the room.

    MP4 is a container. First part of download is only the resolution of the video stream. I'm guessing the rest of the file size is due to the audio stream. But I'm sure someone else will have a better explanation than me, I could be wrong.

      try choosing AAC audio and see if it gives a smaller file size.

        1.90 GB is the Video only. The Audio is usually about another ~200-300MB

        They used to show the size of the audio but they removed it when we asked for accurate bitrates to be shown along with the file sizes.

        Of course the AAC audio is smaller but no matter what, the size you see next to the video will always be just the video.

        I didn't really push for them to put back the size of the audio since we don't have a choice in choosing a different size if this is the bitrate we want.

        But they should add it back just for consistency's sake.
