Is there a video player which can display the bitrates?

[MaiTiano]

Just like the title of this thread.

I am trying to find such a video player which can display the video bitrates and passing frame no during video playing-back.:helpful:

Can anyone tell me is there such a video player?

Many thanks.

I suppose you are referring to bit-rate of each frame right? In this case, I doubt there are video players doing it. Although you can try Corel WinDVD to show video information which have real-time bit-rate information, but it doesn't show frame number. If you just need to know the bit-rate of the whole video, then most player should do.

On the other hand, I think a stream analyzer might fit better to your requirement, namely Elecard Stream Eye, it will have a frame number and bit-rate for each frame showing (well, along with all other bit-stream related information...)

The bitrate is not correlated with the frame other than both refer to a reference time/duration. In other words, one can find out how many bits are needed to encode a particular frame and divide it by the duration of that frame (40ms in PAL/25p). On the other hand, the bitrate most if not all players show is usually correlated with the incoming/displayed video or total data per unit of time (second). I can't speak for all standards, but no standard I know uses or imposes a bitrate per frame.

Try Media Player Classic and Haali's Renderer. Press Alt Gr + O

Also VLC will update the stream properties window in real time as it plays. I think the results may be cumulative though, rather than instantaneous.

If you use ffdshow to decode the video (I generally use MPC-HC to display it) and enable ffdshow's On Screen Display filter, you can choose to display input bitrate, frame number, frame duration... and a whole bunch of other stuff.
