Comment(by stuartm):

 The following from the ffmpeg documentation means I'm not sure about the
 proposed fix - "bit_rate: 0 or some bitrate if this info is available in
 the stream". The implication being that there will be times when valid
 streams report a bitrate of zero.

 A better solution would be to look at the bitrate of all video streams
 first and only ignore the zero bitrate stream if a non-zero stream can be
 found. This could only be done if ScanStreams is reorganised, which is a
 good idea anyway, but it needs some discussion with the over devs first.
