<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'm working on getting my PVR
350 based system setup properly, and I think I don't have the right settings in
my recording profiles to get good output from the 350. Currently, I'm able
to record video (been going for about 15 hours now). As I haven't fully
cracked all the problems on my frontend problems, I've been copying the
resulting .nuv files to my windows system to see what the quality is turning out
to be.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> When viewing the files on my
windows system (using media slayer), I see a lot of what looks like
interlacing. In high motion parts of the video, I get horizontal black
lines in the output. The problem isn't so bad in normal TV, but the
Simpsons looks _horrible_, and I can notice the problem at other times in other
shows. I tried to take a screen shot of the problem but media player
didn't want to cooperate with that effort.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> My current recording settings
specify MPEG2-PS with a bitrate of 4500 and max bitrate of 6000. Should I
be using MPEG2-PS? MPEG2-TS? Something else? (Is there
documentation on what the difference between the video formats are? I
haven't _any_ clue what the difference between the TS and PS flavors of MPEG2
are, but I've got that enquiring mind...)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Is this a problem that I can
address? I'm imagining that viewing files via the frontend on my TV (using
the 350 TV out) will be a bit better, but I will probably want to view files on
other systems, too. I seem to remember someone posting about this problem
recently, but I couldn't find the messages in the archive, and I can't quite
recall if it was in the dev, users, or ivtv-devel list, which makes searching
harder.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Thank in advance for any
suggestions,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Jason</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
