Re: Request Video Quality settings to watch on 43" LCD
Don't change the resolution. For one thing it has to be 720x480 to be video DVD compliant. The law of diminishing returns applies, but give a higher bitrate a try. If you double the average bitrate the file size doubles. In web admin, it shows you what the approx file will be for your default settings. The settings I gave you will give a 2 GB/hr file . 6000 - 12000 might give you 4 GB/hr with some, but not a lot of PQ improvement. Like I said above, experiment, and find the sweet spot for your setup. You also might want to experiment with the recording settings for the Hauppauge card. Search the forums there is a lengthy thread about tweaking your Hauppauge card to maximize PQ, but if it is pretty good already, any improvements willbe marginal.
