Re: does record quality essentially equal live tv playback quality?
Here's a link to the settings I'm using, plus some other info that might be useful: Tweaking video quality settings can make a big difference
That post contains a link to a useful reference site. While browsing it, I got the impression that for MPEG2 there is a maximum useful bitrate, and anything beyond that is overkill, but I'm not sure now that that impression was correct. I would think that 12,000 kbps would be excellent, but if you do any recording at that quality, it will create very large files.
I used 12,000 as only a peak value so that it could use it if it needed it. My hope was that it would use less whenever it could.
