I run the command and I see a lot of data print out:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4
The data looks like properties of the input.mp4
. I was wondering what do the highlighted properties stand for. What do they mean?
Output of the command ffmpeg -i input.mp4

Bitrate describes the rate at which bits are transferred from one location to another in a given amount of time. Bitrate is commonly measured in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (Kbps), or megabits per second (Mbps).
Bitrate can also describe the quality of an audio or video file. For example, an MP3 audio file that is compressed at 192 Kbps
will have a greater dynamic range and may sound slightly more clear than the same audio file compressed at 128 Kbps
. This is because more bits are used to represent the audio data for each second of playback.

This videos image stream has an (average?) bitrate of 1212Kb/s, and its audio stream has 128Kb/s.
This means, 1 second of this .mp4 file takes (in theory) 1212 + 128 = 1340 Kb to store on disk.
