How to check the bitrate of OGM files?

[Lilly]

Hello

Is there a tool like GSPOT that shows me the bitrate of DivX/XviD OGM files?
GSPOT only shows me the videocodec, thats all.

Thanks for help

well the exact bitrate can't be shown most of the time as the video is usually encoded with vbr!

anyway, taking the information gspot provided for you, you can easily calculate the average bitrate used!

just take the video size in kb, conver the play length to seconds then take the size (kilobyte), mulitply it by 8 (to get kilobit) and divide the result by the amount of time in secs! and voilà, you got your average bitrate!

Thanks steVe

result is pretty far away from exact tho (tested it with videos I know the vbr coz I encoded them myself). id say that it only works with videos with no sound muxed yet... but ogms usually have 2 or more :/
so ofc their final videosize is much bigger then.

if you open the file in VirtualDubMod, and look in file-->file info, it should give you the average bitrate i think.

well Lilly, i wasn't talking about the size of the ogm file, but of the size of the video part of this file... the information is given in gspot...

if you open the ogm in vdubmod and go to file>file information> you will get all you need and then some...bitrate, fourCC,number of keyframes, overhead etc etc, and video and audio are separate too :)

you won't miss gspot at all

k, worked with vdmod =)
cool cool
but still..

cant open all ogm files with it, brings me an error msg sometimes ;_;
("Cannot read from file - dataerror (crc check)" tho Id no probs watching that file)

and it is normal it took it so long to open it? (parsing ogg media file)
gspot opened it at once.

already wrote that guy from gspot a mail if he can add ogm files to the gspot list (since he did mpg to v2.5 aswell) but seems his mailbox is full

ah well
at least ive a clue about the bitrate now ;)
(already guessed it in that range tho *heh*)

thanks guys =)
