V_MPEG* video files cannot find audio or video bitrates

Post by gauravkadyan »

Hi,
As shown in the image : V_MPEG* video files cannot find audio or video bitrates. Can you please fix this. All the other video format have audio and video bitrates present.
Thanks in advance.

PS: I am a fan of pattern recognition logic you have put in the multi rename GUI.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

What is "V_MPEG" ?
Does Windows see expected data from said files?
What does MediaInfo say about such files?

Have a small " V_MPEG" file (or portion thereof) you can post or link to?

Everything will pull this information from the Windows Property System System.Audio.EncodingBitrate / System.Video.EncodingBitrate properties.



As a fallback, I have put on my TODO list to calculate the audio/video bitrates for mkv files.

This information is not stored in the mkv container.
It can be calculated from gathering the total audio/video size and dividing by the duration. (slow)

I am not sure how "MediaInfo" software does this but it does show bitrates for both video and audio. It might be calculating the value instead of extracting it out of some field.

MediaInfo most likely pulls the information from the embedded codec header.

Doing this in Everything isn't feasible.
-Everything cannot support every possible codec.
I will consider support for common ones.
For now, Everything relies on the OS to provide this information.
Third party property handlers can be installed.

Everything will calculate the total bitrate already from the file size / duration.

Thanks.

I found a way to find the .mkv files which will have this issue.
ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=bit_rate -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 "$file"
The output of the above command will be N/A for the files without audio/video bitrates

Is there a plan to create custom columns and add indexing support for these custom columns. That way we users could use size/length to calculate the bitrate ourselves.

No immediate plans for custom columns.
I have put this on my TODO list.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I would like to add support for a MediaInfo plugin at some stage too.
