If you have a problem only with a particular file (or file type), use this form instead
Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 are no longer supported. This is not a question about Windows 8.1 or older.

Steps to reproduce
I was experimenting with SmartCut on a file; using developer tools I saw that the bitrate parsed for the stream is only 97 kb/s. The average bitrate based on file size is around 4000 kb/s. Using ffprobe I see this info:
which explains where the 97 kb/s part comes from. I am uncertain why ffprobe is giving this value, unfortunately. The video file only has one stream, no audio.
While I am uncertain how to handle this situation, it would be nice to have an option at least to toggle between estimating a bitrate based on file size and attempting to determine the bitrate from the stream, perhaps, or allow setting it explicitly. Since this is usually a small part of the overall exported segment, I would personally prefer that the bitrate is as high quality as possible.
Expected behavior
The encoded part of the SmartCut segment should be visually similar in quality to the rest of the file.
Actual behavior
The encoded part of the SmartCut segment is laughably poor quality at 1/40th of the bitrate in this particular case.

Unfortunately, modifying the source to just always use (for example) an 8 megabit bitrate still ends up producing strange / glitched output in some situations, though i think that is a different issue.
Also, I noticed the encode of the smartcut parts is not put into the ffmpeg command log, it appears? which makes it trickier to try to reproduce and debug locally.

The fewer issues I have to read, the more new features I will have time to implement, so I ask that you please try these things first
