Hello List, I would like to transcode down some mpeg2 (pvr-250) recordings into (mpeg4, avi, divx, whatever...) to keep as videos for when people come over. This is primarily for kids stuff but I would like to keep some adult titles too. Here is my question.
What is the best format and settings to give a good reduction in file size without noticably reducing the quality of the picture? Please note that I am viewing on a hi-def widescreen monitor so good picture quality is vital. The format does not need to be directly supported by transcode but it needs to be playable with mplayer or xine. Avidemux2 comes to mind as an alternative for doing the conversions. I tried transcoding using the default mpeg4 settings in myth but the results were very poor. Very blocky and lots of artifacts. Maybe acceptable for kids but not personnaly. Any thoughts? Bill
