Yes, I know. I don't mean estimating in general. I am asking about estimating the bitrate of the output of a CRF n encode of a specific source, and not the bitrate of CRF n in general.

Hmm.. Does this really work? I mean the source has to be really monotone for this to work, which is hardly the case in real-life videos.
