Hi, I want to put multiple episodes (50min) on a dvd. I was wondering what compression settings I should use to maintain as much quality as possible. They're supposed to be viewed on a plasma tv. Currently they're recorded with "high quality" (+/- 3 gig / episode). How many should I put on a DVD with what compression...

i looked for a mixer option for ages in ffdshow - i must be going blind! anyway found that and was happily getting 5.1 sound mixed from stereo - however for some reason it seems to make the video go choppy - going back to stereo makes the video fine again. cpu usage is only 20% or so.. who knows *shrug*

Clear the job list in Virtualdub (F4) 3...

Well, I have two cards with separate tuners, both DVB but one for sattelite and none for cable. If a computer is ment to place it near the TV then it has to be very silent and ended up with mobile technology and a processor that would have to run at top speed if it had to decode a mpeg stream.
