You have mixed resolutions and HDR/non-HDR. That's kinda apples to oranges comparison.

I'm confused. Dolby Vision isn't a codec. It is a content mastering and delivery format.

Always interesting to see information like this, but in a vacuum it's kind of meaningless. A higher bitrate doesn't necessarily mean you're getting a higher quality image. Motion, image complexity, dynamic range (contrast), and other factors play a huge role in determining the overall quality of the image.

I can understand why people would want to see this information, as it might appear to show you the relative quality of different content providers. But it doesn't do that. You'd need to pick a movie or TV show that's available on every service tested, then choose several different scenes showcasing different aspects of visual fidelity, then capture at least several seconds in each scene to generate an average bitrate per scene per service. Then to really make this information useful you'd need to repeat this process across different devices.

Still ... this is certainly some kind of information.

How did you get those information? Is there an app can do that?

Something pretty wrong with your bitrates.

Also have Fire Sticks, Cubes and can confirm that the bitrates on that link are what I have, there's nothing on HBO MAX under 9MB/s for example

Nolan was right.

Is this info pulled from the fire stick? I wish the Chromecast or tv had a similar feature.

Prime video has 4K as well. I wonder if they match Netflix. Good to see Disney is highest for 1080p.

Something is wrong with your Netflix. I get 15.25mbps for 4K HDR always.

SOMEONE TRANSLATE THIS FOR ME

What about the Apple TV app? I've heard their bitrate is higher then Netflix, Amazon, etc... when used on an Apple TV device

Hm weird, for me Netflix usually is ~12-20 Mbit/s for Video in 4K.

Guys i welcome your comments, but i didnt mean to showcase video Bitrates, i would have waited for network peak and captured high bitrates, but never done that, just want to showcase the audio bitrates, i will do another one for video to showcase higher video bitrates.

I bought a Roku, but I don't think it is helpful

Now I am using the Dynalink tv box
