Video bitrate 0kbps in file properties

Bug Description

I tried several video files, each time I watch their properties (right click >
properties > Audio/video) : the video bitrate is 0 kbps.

exemple:

Video
Codec: ISO MPEG-4 (XviD, ffmpeg)
Bitrate: 0 kbps

Why can't I see the real bitrate ? is it nautilus bug or ffmpeg codec limitation ?
Everything else in properties is fine.

That will happen for all the videos that don't set their bitrate in the decoder
and/or demuxer. Please either file bugs against xine-lib, or a low priority bug
here against the xine-lib backend.
