Default Bit rate of youtube videos

There is a great deal of music content on youtube, including some full

albums or even multiple versions of same. Does anyone know the standard

bit rate for them, if there is such a thing.



Some on the web say it is proportional to the quality of the video file

encoding. So those labeled as "hd or hq" are the highest quality videos

and the bit rate for the audio follows accordingly. Some are labeled as

"audiophile" without mention of what it means.

Has anyone experience and/or information about this?


128 seems to be the standard for audio on Youtube. When someone say high quality or audiophile worthy that means they're original copy is high quality. Once it's coverted to Youtube you usually get low end Mp3 Mp4/ACC.
