i have been using kino to encode and mplex my DV input. i will start doing it from the command line in order to access this info. thanks > > Programs like mplayer pint also out the maximal bitrate of the stream: > VIDEO: MPEG2 720x576 (aspect 2) 25.00 fps 7500.0 kbps (937.5 > kbyte/s) > i have seen this, 7500 kbps is the default with kino when setup for dvd output. so my original attempt looked like this one, except for fps. > But that does not tell you the average bitrate.
