Ideal Capture rate vs DVD rate bitrates and fps

[Christopher2222]

Ok, sorry if this is a rehash but if I'm capturing shows from a source (satellite receiver) and I want to make the output similar to what I would see if I had the show on a DVD, here's what I've calculated.

Let's take a movie on a DVD (dual layer NON blue-ray) for example. That's roughly 2 hours or so for 7-8 Gb of data. So that works out to roughly 7.7 to 8.8 Mb/s. Capturing at that rate should make my output similar to a DVD.

Most movies are done at 30fps. It's kind of funny how satellite transmissions send a signal out at 60fps. If it's only 30fps to begin with isn't upscaling it to 60fps overkill?
