Meaning
Constant bitrate is an encoding target that aims to keep the data rate near a selected value over time.
A practical example
A delivery estimate may assume a stable video rate so runtime can be converted to an approximate data size.
What to check
An encoder's implementation and container overhead still matter. Treat a target setting as a planning parameter, not proof of an exact final byte count.
