Directshow : How to determine MPEG 2 Bitrate? Options

[dabdab]

Hi group,

I am developing a DVB-C application with directshow. I am able to run and watch TV now, thanks to the help provided on this board.

Now, I need to determine the bitrate of the MPEG Video and Audio streams currently tuned. I thought that either demux or the Microsoft DTV MPEG-2 Decoder would be able to provide the information. I also tried ICodecAPI::GetValue to get the average bitrate but the method fails with E_NotImplemented error.

Any suggestions or a quick way to get it?

Thanks in Advance.
