#MKVTOOLS BITRATE PATCH#

mkvmerge for remuxing the streams (so you keep the compression settings from HandBrake, just not the Matroska stuff) after having used HandBrake, and bitrate will be displayed in think we pretty much agree on most of things, just that my wordings are pretty poor (English is not my first language, sorry about that!), which causes your confusion.

#MKVTOOLS BITRATE PATCH#

Summary: the only issue there is that the muxer used by HandBrake (FFmpeg) did not implement the support of the statistic tags (it is a muxer issue, and only that), and the solution for fixing this issue is to have a patch for statistic metadata support in FFmpeg Matroska muxer.Īs a workaround, you can use e.g. But it is not the reason it disappeared (actually source bitrate tags are no more relevant, as they are about the old stream), the reason it disappeared is that the muxer you used does not write optional bitrate info, so the one to blame is the muxer you use, which did not implement such optional metadata, that's all. Just not pure Matroska elements and not mandatory.Īs mentioned above, the bitrate info just doesn't exist, as they're not mandatory for either MKV So they have meta tag fields, you said a thing and its opposite -). It doesn't even have meta tag fields for average bitrate.Ĭalculate such info on-the-go and then store it in tags (mostly this)

The lack of support of 1 Matroska feature by a specific muxer does not mean the format has a problem, it just mean that the muxer did not implement something.
