How to find the bitrate of a video (g-spot type tool)

[kelman3]

I've been trying forever to find a tool that can tell me the bitrate of a video.

VLC and mplayer give me the codec, frame size, frame rate, and all the audio info but not the bitrate of the video.

I tried pressing the "info" button in ffmpegx but that didn't work.
I also tried plugging in the video to d-vision for editing/re-encoding but it didn't pull up the bitrate.
Windows Media Player gives the bitrate but it only opens wmvs.

Is there any way to find out the bitrate of an avi/mpg/mp4 file?

Thanks

Quicktime Player will give you the bitrate of a movie. I think it will sum the video + audio. Just choose "Show Movie Info" under the "Window" menu. Quicktime call it "Data Rate".

MPEG Streamclip (also free) has a "Show Info" command, as well.

Quicktime gave me all the codec info but not the bitrate, just the data rate.
I tried it with a video I encoded and it said 85.21kbps data rate, instead of 1105kbps bitrate which I encoded the video at.

MPEG Streamclip gave me 0.09 Mbps which I'm not sure is the right figure.
I'll keep trying and see.

Thanks for the responses.

I noticed that if I open a clip in ffmpegx and click encode, the bitrate of the source video is at the top of the process information.
That's what I do to find the bitrate.
