<p> Hi,</p><p>The last quality issues with TV recordings from my hdpvr are solved after I turned the bitrate settings up to max 13500 - 22000 for all resolutions.</p><p><BR>
</p><p>Output quality looks subjectively AT LEAST as good as direct output from stb to TV :-), using 720p over component, and s/pdif -> ac3. Any trace of jerkyness/jitter/frame corruption is gone.<BR>
</p><p>Obviously, the max setting is overkill, eating disk space, and stressing the bus unneccessarily (Even using VDPAU the cpu and fans are obviously woring harder than with the default settings, which I can't remember offhand).</p><p>STB is spitting out 720p, although most content is SD/PAL.</p><p><BR>
</p><p> What recording profiles are others using?</p><p><BR>
</p><p>Cheers!</p><p><BR>
