How do I monitor encoding file's size while encoding?

How do I monitor encoding file's size while encoding?

I am using the sdk to do screen capture recording and need to be able to 
monitor the size of the file while recording. For some reason the file size 
stays around 6k untill you call the WMEncoder.Stop() function at which point 
it write the data to the file.

Any tips appreciated?

you can access WM Encoder's Statistics object
WMEncoder.Statistics.FileArchiveStats.FileSize

or, if you've already done that, you can use:

WMEncoder.Statistics.WMFOutputStats.AverageBitrate
and with multiplying it with time passed, calculate filesize.

Or you can use :)
WMEncoder.Statistics.WMFOutputStats.ByteCount

For already calculated size :)
