[QUOTE="luci5r, post: 851370, member: 113478"] Guys, How do you set the Format Settings in MediaPortal for anything you record from TV?

For example, I have set the Format Settings in ArcSoft ShowBiz for Colossus Capture Card to 17.0 mbps bit rate, 20.0 mbps Peak Bit Rate, and .M2TS as the extension.

Why is the video & audio quality so poor through MediaPortal? What am I missing or not setting? Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
