The concept of upconverting is broken in itself, and from the example I have seen here the bitrate is fixed regardless of what the originating content was.. 480i or 1080i.. If you are going to destroy the quality by upconverting chances are you aren't going to do anything with the bitrates either.. But either way you can check the PES header of the video and get the bitrate I believe.. Its in the dvbdev/transform.c code somewhere buried if you want to see how to do it.. I should patch it into dtvrecorder.cpp at some point so we can see what streams are being recorded anyway..
