I set my bitrate to the maximum, and all I saw chage was the fact that the recording would get INCREDIBLY choppy!!! My PVR-350 seemed incapable of recording at 16Mbps... did you guys observe this as well?

Alright, First question. What version pvr 250 do you have? I know mine is the new version, I believe it's an ivt-16? All I know is that it ends with 16 and not 15 like the older cards do.
I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but using lspci -v I have an Internext Compression Inc iTVC16.
Second question, when you play with the live tv
settings such as bitrate and recording type, do you
notice any real difference. I don't feel I notice any
difference. I know it's actually changing the
settings though, because when I query the ivtv driver
it matches the setting in myth. Also changing the
screen size does things.
For me, I notice basically no difference in picture quality when I change
the bitrate and recording type.
Final question. Does everyone agree that dvd playback
looks great?
My dvd playback looks perfect.
First comment. I have tried many different driver
versions and firmwares. They all have the same issue.
I had hoped that upgrading to Fedora Core 3 from Fedora Core 1 and getting newer ivtv drivers would do something but.... it's basically the exact same picture quality as before.
Second comment. I tried outputing thru mplayer and
quality is just as bad.
I'd say the mplayer output is comparable to the mythtv output of recordings. I wouldn't say it's bad, though, just not as crisp as regular tv.
Dan.
