I agree it's a good chart, but it does make some assumptions that
might not be totally correct for your system.
In particular it is assuming a virtually noise-free video signal
(close to 60 db. IRE-weighted S/N). If you have a noisy picture you
might gain a little bit better reproduction by increasing the bitrate
a little more. It is also assuming NTSC as I'm sure you noticed.
