Just wondering if anyone has had any experience in putting EyeTV
recordings into DVD Studio Pro? I have a EyeTV 400, so it records
Digital TV.
Well, I have discovered the problem. The bit rate of the recordings is
at 15000 Kbps, which is way above the 9800 Kbps limit of DVDSP. From
what I can gather, the latets EyeTV boxes allow you to adjust the bit
rate at which the recordings are saved. Unfortunately for me, the 400
I have does not.
Rod, you should blame Channel 10 etc for broadcasting their digital TV
programs at too high a bit rate - not Elgato's EyeTV.
Amusingly, I've heard an anecdote that in the US TV companies go to
great lengths to record TV shows perfectly and then during
distribution they dial down the quality (ie bit rate) of their image
compression until the complaints start rolling in, then they dial the
quality back up a bit.
Have fun,
