<DIV><SPAN class=855355216-06022008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, i have a few
movies that i have used mythtv to compress them and put them into my "my videos"
section of mythtv.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=855355216-06022008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recently had the
idea: let my compare one of my dvd's to a bit torrent dvd...so i downloaded the
same video as one of my videos from bit torrent.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=855355216-06022008><FONT face=Arial size=2>The quality of the
bit torrent video was much better than mine...in fact, on my 55" tv, it looked
DVD quality, where as my video file is obviously compressed. Both videos take up
right around 800mb total, and both are 2 hours and 15 minutes long. If my video
was to be around 400mb and the same quality, i'd understand, but it is almost
the same size (within 5 mb) as the bit torrent downloaded
video.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=855355216-06022008><FONT face=Arial size=2>That is around 6mb
per minute of video.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=855355216-06022008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does mythtv just not
have the high quality settings that are available to other video converter
programs?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
