Why no bitrate when using mkv format

[Alloneword]

Morning all.
So i have been encoding some of my retail DVD's (Reg 2) to MKV as most say handbrake is one of the best, and i have to be honest it seems to do a good job, however i have one issue that is driving me bonkers, i find anything about 2500kbps is good enough for me so import the DVD, Picture tab as left at default so is filters tab, however i do alter some details on the video tab and these are Encoder Preset is set to Placebo Avg Bitrate is ticked and 2500 is put in the box and Turbo first pass is turned off other then that it's all left at default Fast 1080p 30 is selected.
I let it do it's thing normally overnight then when i run an app called PlayTime which scans folders for video files it lists them in video bitrate but my encodes allways come up blank, when i run the mkv file through Bitrate Viewer it will show the file at being about the 2500 mark, yet when i do the same thing again and ONLY changing it to mp4 it works fine ie; 2500 in playtime.
So has anyone heard of this problem before and even better how to solve it, i have done a few mkv using other mkv software and it works fine but i'm at a loss on what to do


I am running win 7 x64 U and using HB v 1.0.7

# Encode Completed ...

Code: Select all

[02:14:54]    + encoder: H.264 (libx264)
[02:14:54]      + preset:  placebo
[02:14:54]      + profile: main
[02:14:54]      + level:   4.0
[02:14:54]      + bitrate: 2500 kbps, pass: 1

The bit rate is being passed, but with the encoder dialed up to "preset placebo", it's going to cancel out the bitrate and two-pass.

[mduell]

Why do you care what bitrate some other app shows or doesn't show? You agree the MKV files are 2500kbps video?

What the hell are you talking about?

Because MKV doesn't have a index that's easy to scan to read each frame size. Some apps like mkvmerge write an annotation (or whatever is the name in the MKV specifications) with the bitrate value. HandBrake doesn't, so to get the bitrate you have to traverse the entire file, and it could take some time.

One workaround is to remux the file with mkvmerge/mkvtoolnix.

mduell & yRodeo why the hostility?
I'm asking a simple question if you can't answer a question without being hostile or ignorant may i suggest you don't bother saying anything.

However i will explain why i want it to show up using when using PlayTime, as i'm sure your aware some video files come at differnt bitrate and for me i find 2500kbps the min i will watch so when you have several hundred video files with varying bitrate how do you suggest i find out the bitrate of each file?
Well for me using playtime works well and 95% shows up bitrate fine it's just the odd bit that does not, and this shows me what files are under my 2500 limit it's that simple.
Ritsuka's answer is perfect for me so to him/her i say thank you for a decent answer.
mduell & yRodeo just chill a bit not everybody thinks like you 2 or wants the same thing out of an app, i'm uessing people come here for a bit of help, with you two acting the way you are it might put some off the app, but not me i have thicker skin, just be nice to people it's not a crime [yet].

I think mduell and rodeo were questioning woodstock, not you.

Regarding your file bitrate, if you keep your HB encoded files in their own folder you won't need to worry about the bitrate as it will be whatever you set it to.

Oh Jesus having re read things i think your right, plenty of humble pie for me them.
mduell and rodeo i am very sorry looks like i read it wrong and i am the t1t not you two once again very sorry.

What the hell are you talking about?

I guess you're saying that selecting placebo for the encoder setting does NOT override the probably incompatible bit rate setting?

[rollin_eng]

There is no incompatibility, you can have any encoder preset with any bitrate.

[Deleted User 11865]

Yeah I don't know what you're on about, every single x264 preset is compatible with all available rate control methods.

[Woodstock]

So, if the encoder is set to "Placebo" and that would require a higher bit rate than was set, which takes precedence?

[s55]

It's not "Placebo" quality. It's simply an indication that the settings you've chosen are of diminishing returns. If you use a low bitrate, you'll still get worse quality. It's not lossless.

[mduell]

What the hell are you talking about?

I guess you're saying that selecting placebo for the encoder setting does NOT override the probably incompatible bit rate setting?

No, the encoder presets are orthogonal to your choice of rate control method.

So, if the encoder is set to "Placebo" and that would require a higher bit rate than was set, which takes precedence?

There's no such conflict, since placebo is not a rate control method. Placebo is a collection of settings for high quality-per-bit encoding, with very poor performance.
