I'm trying to be able to give users a rough estimate of the file size needed to encode with the setting provided to th_info-struct (frame width/height, fps_numerator/fps_denominator, target_bitrate and quality).

It's difficult to estimate from the frame size and rate. If you give
the 1.1/thusnelda encoder a target bitrate it will respect that, but
the 1.0 encoder pretty much ignores it. For a particular input set and
and quality setting, you just have to measure it.
