Determining Bitrate For Many # of Videos

[EpheMeroN]

I cut a very very long HD video into about 50 smaller videos.

Is there any tool that can tell me how long all the clips would be together so I can figure out a bitrate to distribute across the board to all the videos?

Get the total length from the length of the original video you split.

When I have several videos to go onto the same DVDR, I first do a CQ encode. That gives them back to me with all about the same quality. I then figure the percentage of the total size and use that same percentage for the available space on the DVDR. From that I can figure the bitrate.

You seem to want to assign a filesize/bitrate based on the percent of the total length. Since different parts of the movie will compress differently, that doesn't make much sense to me. A couple of people sitting and talking, for example, won't need nearly as many bits to compress for the same quality as will a crowd scene.

I didn't just cut the original video into parts, I cut out a lot of the actual video.

What is it: MPEG2, AVC, or VC1?

The video files all have .mpg extension. The edits were outputted by VideoReDo where the source video file was a .ts hi-def capture of mine.

Load them all at once in DGIndex. Save Project. Then get the running time from the bottom of the D2V file.

if i'm using avs in my pipe, i use a batch file on the directory. runs avsutil on every .avs file, then records the output (which is the frame count). you can do simple enough maths in windows cmd environment to turn the frame count(s) into a nice number in mins and seconds, which i then use in a bitrate calculation.

but i haven't needed to do this for 2+ years, so advice beyond the above will be sketchy at best.

This is the last line of the D2V file. Is the total running time the "34660352"? That's the total frame count?

900 1 57 34660352 0 0 0 32 32 92 b2 b2 a2 b2 b2 a2 b2 b2 a2 b2 b2 a2 b2 b2 a2 b2 b2 a2 a2 ff

Sorry, I meant run Parse D2V on the D2V file and look at the last line of the resulting log.
