	I think not but you can make some evaluation. You must know the length of your film
	in seconds. Then start the encoding, look what time is it, wait it have encoded at least
	500-1000 seconds (the A and V counter in the status) and make some math. Not very
	good but it worked for me ( if a 1/2 H precision is ok for you).
