Re: overall bitrate / track bitrate

Matroska itself doesn't provide any header fields for such
information. So generally the answer is »no«.

However, mkvmerge has been creating statistics tags for a couple of
months now. If such tags are present then those can be evaluated. The
MediaInfo authors promised to use that information, but I don't know
whether or not they've gotten around to implementing support for them
yet.

See https://github.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/wiki/Automatic-tag-generation

Kind regards,
