[mythtv-users] Transcode to DVD-compatible MPEG-2 without quality loss?

[Mike Frisch]

I am using nuvexport (using ffmpeg) but the picture quality is taking a
huge hit.

My half hour TV show is a 1.??GB .nuv file but transcoded to MPEG-2 DVD is
around 400MB and it shows it.

What's the trick?

Much appreciated.
