No, the only thing relevant is that the units are bits per second.
Regardless of anything else, the fact that there is no unit of pixels
means that, given the bitrate (bits/second) and movie length (seconds)
you have determined the size, and thus pixels are irrelevant.

In the usage I'm familiar with, "I think not!" is a sarcastic remark
one makes about something which is certainly wrong... If that's not
