Well, ain't that a coincidence, I did the same this evening. I wanted to time shift, which of course you can do with MPEG and no can do with DivX. > I've noticed an odd effect - I use a rate of 2500 for video, I was using 1800 which I found quite acceptable. Well all except the "interference" I have on channel 3 here. FFMPEGrec dutifully encoded it though. :-) > which gives a > fairly good video quality. On analog cable here, I don't find much difference between 1800 and mid 2000's. > But I'm finding that suddenly FFMPEGrec will > turn down the bit rate dramatically - I'd guess from 2500 down to 400 or > less. As you might expect, that gives a very poor picture. Wow. I never saw any of that. What I did see however was A/V drift, which is quite surprising for NVrec tools. It seemed to drift more (as in amount of drift per minute of recording) as the recording went on. By the end of the hour I was hitting minus (-) on Mplayer once every 5-10 seconds -- gotta love the knobs in Mplayer. :-) > Before I look into it - has anyone else noticed this problem? Nope. I am going to have to go back to DIVX4rec until this is fixed. I can cope with having to A/V adjust here, but the A/V out of sync drives my girlfriend nuts. :-) b. -- Brian J. Murrell
