Well there's synchronicity in action!
I was just about to post this and a related question. I'm running my
PVR-350 with fairly high (normally) res. PAL settings, and a bitrate of
~6200 somethings. I get images of ~2.0-2.2 Gb per hour.
Now, I just downloaded [bittorrent] an episode of something I missed.
The AVI's ~364 Mb for the, I guess, ~43 mins., but is, whem played
through MythVideo, of comparable quality to the stuff I record at 6x the
size!
Is it possible to tune the PVR to get, if not that small, then
smaller but decent recordings? More usefully for me, can anyone
recommend a codec/encoder that'd generate small & decent files (maybe
even SVCD format) for Myth archiving?
