ChrisTV Video bitrate for Best Results when Recording in pc

RottieGirl · 16-05-2008, 08:48 AM

I'm trying to record something off of the satellite. The only problem is, I can't figure out how to set my bitrate for the audio. I'm using ChrisTV to schedule. When I set the bitrate to the highest, I can't convert to avi without it looking very pixelated. I'm using vcd settings the following way: frame size 640x480; audio bitrate of 128 Kbit/sec; I had the video at constant peak of 15 Mbps and average of 9 Mbps. Has anybody used this program for scheduling & if so, what settings can be used to get the best results? Thanks for any help.

Did you try different options in ChrisTV:

* Normal (video bitrate 4800 KBits/sec)
* Low (video bitrate 3000 KBits/sec).

Thanks. I think that I finally got it now. I seem to have found the right combination for the bitrates.
