Exactly. > If we've known that all files share same codec parameters, > maybe first file's bit_rate would be the best guess. Not at all. Having the same codec parameters, to some extent, is necessary for concatenating: concatenating Theora and H.264 does not make any sense. The bitrate, on the other hand, can vary from second to second, most streams are VFR nowadays anyways. > At least, do you mind if I introduce an option in concat file, > or as an AVOption, to enable it manually?
