this is due to the mpegs being VBR. the speed reported in the stream is the upper-range of the vbr range. (aka the peak bitrate) if you want them to be the same you'll have to lower the burst rate, but some scenes may suffer because of this.
It has been brought up before and i think this is 'just the way mpeg works' but, i'm not an expert in mpeg, so i could be wrong :) -tmk --- Joe Briggs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is it possible that the MPEG stream created by IVTV > on a PRV250 contains > an incorrect bitrate?
