Determine Bitrate of an encoded x264 MKV?

[cyrilic]

Searched with no luck .. I'm looking for a simple program that works on Vista that will spit out the bitrate of a x264 MKV. Thanks!

If you demux it first, you use DGAVCIndex.

I used to use AVInaptic but it doesn't work in Vista :mad: but I don't think it needed to demux the video ...

mediainfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net) will tell you the average bitrate. (don't know if it works on vista)

Thanks that works!

If you´re using Vista use "XP Service Pack 2" compatibility mode, that fixed the problem for me.

Well, if you know your audio bite rate then simply right-click on the file, click properties. and where you see bytes, take that number, times it by 8 and divide by the total time of your video. That will give you total bitrate, then just subtract the audio bitrate and Viola, your done.

If you don't know your audio bitrate, then you will have to demux and do the above calculation (or look at the encoded audio file and use this same method to get its bitrate).
