[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1156746, member: 82144"] My data cap is only 10 GB per month, so I'm limited in how much I can download. I chose to download 40 MB from the MEPO_CBR_20Mb.ts for examination... When I use TransEdit to examine the sample, it looks like the video data rate is approximately 20 Mb/s as expected. Interestingly, TransEdit is telling me that ~3.5% of video packets are lost. I'm not sure why that would be. Maybe it is a sign that the encoder is somehow overloaded? Subjectively, the skin colour/tone (eg. on Jessica Alba's arm) looks blotchy/blurry. Initially I thought maybe this could be due to the channel provider's source, the channel provider's encoder, or perhaps even low light conditions during filming. Fortunately I have a 720p direct digital recording of the same movie from a local channel, so we can do a little comparison.
