Use the data rate graph to evaluate how well the output data rate matches the requirements of your delivery

compression keyframes and differenced frames (frames that exist between keyframes), and data rate levels at each
frame. The graph includes the following information:
Data rate The line represents the average data rate.
Sample size The red bars represent the sample size of each keyframed frame.
Differenced frames sample size The blue bars represent the sample size of the differenced frames between
compression keyframes.
