iPod touch What is the bitrate for video in the faster Ipod Touch?

[Mrfatboy]

Does anybody know what the new 32g & 64g Ipod touches video bitrate is? I currently rip movies that are 1gig in size and the bitrate is about 800. I have the apple video cable and usually watch movies when I travel on the hotel tv's. The quality is fair.

If I get the new 64g I will be able to dedicate more memory to the movies for better quality. However, the bitrate (through put) will also be a limiting factor.

sooo. How much video can these new ipods pump out?

I found these tech specs from the apple website. The specs are exactly the same for the slower 8g model as the new faster 32g & 64g.

Why would they be the same if the 32g & 64g has a faster processor?
