[Matroska-users] matroska / ffmpeg / bitrate

[startx]

hello.

whenever encode video/audio into a matroska container with ffmpeg,
i cannot get the bitrate of the streams inside the mkv later.

ffmpeg later reports just "bitrate N/A", mencoder "BITRATE = 0"

is this an ffmpeg issue or something i dont understand about
the matroska container? ( i use dirac/flac inside mkv )

is there any way to correct this afterwards?

also is there a reason why mkvinfo does not report the bitrate of
a stream at all? is this by design?

startx

PS: the files play fine though.
