The target video output bit rate in bits per second

This is the target recorded video output bit rate if the application configures the video recording via MediaRecorder#setProfile without specifying any other MediaRecorder encoding parameters. For example, for high speed quality profiles (from #QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_LOW to #QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_2160P), this is the bit rate where the video is recorded with. If the application intends to record slow motion videos with the high speed quality profiles, it must set a different video bit rate that is corresponding to the desired recording output bit rate (i.e., the encoded video bit rate during normal playback) via MediaRecorder#setVideoEncodingBitRate. For example, if #QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_720P advertises 240fps #videoFrameRate and 64Mbps #videoBitRate in the high speed CamcorderProfile, and the application intends to record 1/8 factor slow motion recording videos, the application must set 30fps via MediaRecorder#setVideoFrameRate and 8Mbps ( #videoBitRate * slow motion factor) via MediaRecorder#setVideoEncodingBitRate. Failing to do so will result in videos with unexpected frame rate and bit rate, or MediaRecorder error if the output bit rate exceeds the encoder limit. If the application intends to do the video recording with MediaCodec encoder, it must set each individual field of MediaFormat similarly according to this CamcorderProfile.
