Question. Why the current bitrate is important? It means nothing. Actually it is not very useful. Here is an example. You are doing a slow encode. It is saying it is at 11236.99 kb/s. This doesn't help anything at all. You don't know if it is going up much later or if it was much lower. At any point of the encoding, even the last minute, you don't have a useful information.

On the other hand if it was the average bitrate, it is very useful. At any moment you know how the end result will be. The more you get to the end of the encoding, the more the bitrate information is accurate.

So please explain why the current bitrate is important?
