Constant bit rate (CBR)
Opposite of variable bit rate. The signal (video or audio) is digitally encoded so that a fixed amount of data flows each second. This has the advantage of making the space requirements for the signal easy to calculate. DTS and Dolby Digital are both CBR systems, as are the earlier versions of MPEG audio and video compression. Most MP3 files are CBR encoded, although the format does support VBR as well.
