Hi, I was wondering if the output quality is better if I use a video card with mpeg2 decoding, instead of one without.
I use a PVR-150 for encoding, and a GeForce4 MX440 with S-Video out for output, but I imagine that the decoding is done in software? Overall the video quality is good. It's a little soft, I'd like to have it sharper, and also it's quite noticeable if, for example, credits are scrolling by on the screen... that certainly causes some jerkyness, I guess quickly scrolling text doesn't come out very good. And I was wondering if decoding was done in hardware on the card, if stuff like that would be of better quality. Having said that, what video cards have mpeg2 decoding? I know the PVR-350 has it, but that's also a capture card. Are there output-only video cards with mpeg2 decode, which don't cost an arm and a leg? Is there a good software alternative? Should I apply some filters? Is there a way to improve the sharpness and also not get the jerkyness on stuff like scrolling text? Thanks for any help.
