Description
Basically what I wish to accomplish is to calculate bits(pixel*frame) value of a video file and pick a profile according to the theoretical quality of the video based on its average bitrate, resolution and frame rate reported by the container. However I was unable to find a way to read the container's video average bitrate via properties. The closest thing I could find was video-bitrate which is not an average value and unfit for profile selection (because most videos start with a fade-in or something similar which requires less bitrate at the beginning). There was also video-params/average-bpp but I think it is for color depth since it displayed 24 for all the videos that I have tested. I would appreciate it if you could offer me a workaround or consider adding it as a feature.

Research direction
No file or test is identified in the issue. Start by locating the existing video-bitrate property and tracing how media-container metadata becomes exposed properties. Done means a property reports the container's video average bitrate and can be used alongside resolution and frame rate for profile selection.
