Running yet another commandline program is out of the question here.

Reliable bitrate calculators are kinda important, though! And since .sub subtitles are pretty big (several MB), that makes a pretty big difference when I'm trying to get my encode exactly 700MB on the first try. After being duped several times now by the bitrate calculator in MeGUI, I'd be willing to wait any amount of time to get a totally accurate bitrate calculation.
