I have the following question: Is is possible to change the bitrate of a recorded mpegstream by using the hardware on a PVR-350 and or in combination with a PVR-150?
Explanation: I have recorded a movie with my PVR-350 with a bitrate of 8000000 and a bitrate_peak of 8500000. This movie is just a bit more than 2 hours long and 4.6GB large. It will not fit on one DVD. I can use avidemux2 to make a new mpeg stream with a lower bitrate but on my machine it takes about 8 hours to do so. Now I thought to use my hardware, I have a PVR-350 and a PVR-150. This should only take me the 2 hours of the movie. 1st question: Can I use only the PVR-350 to do the above? Something like "cat file.mpg > /dev/video16" and in another proces "cat /dev/video0 > newfile.mpg". How do I have to setup the card to enable this? Currently I cannot find any control options to set de decoder to output to the encoder. Or am I missing something? 2nd question: Do I need to hook the PVR-350 output up to the PVR-150 input for video and audio? I have not yet tried this option because I do not have the right cabeling at home right now.
