Cory,
I have been looking at a great way to get my recordings to looks a lot better after transcode , but havent found anything acceptable. Instead I have had to just deal with the size of the recordings thrown at me from my PVR250 and deal. Do you just transcode as a job right from myth to 352x480, or do you have a process you follow after your recordings are all done?
If you search the list, you'll find previous posts on what I've done. Basically, if there aren't any A/V sync glitches in the capture (e.g. capturing from tape), I use avidemux2 directly. Basically:
- Capture at 640x480, 5Mbps or so
- Edit commercials from within avidemux
- Choose HQ3D denoise, 1/2 D1 resolution, 2-pass transcoding of video (roughly 3-4 hours/hour show on 2.4GHz machine)
- Remux .m2v audio
- qdvdauthor for fancy menus
- dvdauthor to master
- mkisofs to image
- growisofs to burn
If the sync is broken, there's a workaround. Basically, it involves using 'mencoder' to encapsulate the MPEG2 stream into an .avi. Then use "rebuild b-frames" from within avidemux to resync A/V as an "AVI." Then transcode as normal. Avidemux can't deal with changing A/V sync within a capture.
