Actually, MythTV does have "canned" settings for the recording profiles for MPEG-2. I believe that they are 4.5Mbps minimum, 6Mbps maximum, with a 480x480 capture resolution.
The minimum and maximum values are what the sliders (for bitrate) and the boxes (for the resolution) will allow. On the capture resolution, it is up to 720x480 (or 576 for PAL), for the bitrate, I'm not sure, but I think that the PVR-250 will support up to 15Mbps (I have successfully captured this high outside of MythTV), just using "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg". Are you sure that you were setting the correct profiles? By default, the "Default" profile is used for nearly everything, and you must set the MPEG-2 recording profiles, not the RTJPEG ones. I have a PVR-500 (and a PVR-250), so I set my profiles (all of them) to 720x480, but I don't recall the bitrate. I can't remember if I'm using the default, or if I increased the bitrate. But I definitely changed the capture resolution. -- Joe --- Ben Giddings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 27 April 2005 17:00, Robert Tsai wrote: > > That is correct; all recording profiles will > default to the same > > values of 2200kbps, etc. MythTV does not come with > any sort of > > "canned" defaults for high/medium/low-quality > recording profiles. > > So what are legal values for those settings.
