What value seperates low and high bitrates?

I want to convert some Divx/Xvid files to KDVD. I want to know if my videos are low bitrates or high bitrates. They are 850 kbps. Is there a universal number that determines if it's a low or high bitrate?

This info has really no value so don't bother.

I'm trying to determine whether to use bicubicresize or lanczos4resize.

This choice have impact on the sharpen of the output. Genrally Avis are a little more blured than DVD sources. That is why personally I prefer to use lanczos. Others prefer to put a "asharp" line just after the resize.

But this is in no way tied to the bitrate of the source. It just depend on its bluriness.
