I upgraded my computer to a 1200 mhz AMD and added higher resolutions settings in Local_config.py (640x480). Rebooted the machine and the quality is still horrible. Does anyone have some tips for me. I'd like to still get some compression and get a really nice videos for the shows I want to save.
You may have mentioned this already, but what capture card are you using? Are you trying to encode or transcode as you record? I had endless problems doing that, then bit the bullet and bought a large hard drive and a WinTV PVR-250. Since then my recordings have been very acceptable in quality even at 320x240, and better-than-VCR at 640x480. The files are enormous, but I usually watch them within a few days of recording, and if I want to keep something I transcode it LATER, so the system can take its time and do a good job with a multi-pass codec.
This is a 1.4GHz Pentium 4 but I've only recently upgraded from an 800 MHz Pentium III and it worked there, as well.
