How To Find Bitrate

[EpheMeroN]

I'm going to be encoding a few AVI files into MPEG-2 video using QuEnc, but I've heard countless times that it can spike your video bitrate. What free tools can I use to check my videos after they've encoded with QuEnc so I can make sure they never go above the max bitrate?

You can use the bitrate viewer

recently bitrate viewer seems to be showing lower than what the video really is for me so i am using mpeg stream eye instead.

BitrateViewer calculetes 1 kbps = 1024 bps.
It can not be changed in the chareware version but after you buy it you can set 1K=1000 in the settings.

Or do you mean lower Q-value?
