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..
