I’m not saying it is the size of the file, I’m saying the bitrate multiplied by the number of seconds determines the size in bits of the file. So for a given video duration and a given bitrate, the total size (modulo headers, container format overhead etc) is the same regardless of compression method. Some codecs can achieve better perceived quality for the same number of bits per second. See. e.g. veed.netlify.app/learn/bitrate#TOC1 or toolstud.io/video/bitrate.php

If it’s compressed to 6,000 kilobits per second then ten seconds of video will be 60,000 kilobits or 7 megabytes, regardless if it’s compressed with h.264, h.265 or AV1.
