[mythtv-users] Re:Good Video/Codec Setting

[Joe S]

When I left the stock settings in place, the video was full of
posterization and I can't stand that I'd rather have noise.  Increasing
the bitrate did nothing to help that.  

Your mention of the keyframes sounds interesing but i had the same
problems before I changed the settings. I will revert the settings and
see what kind of quality/useability I get now.

Whats even weirder now is I was able to get useable video with "-oac
copy -ovc copy" by using zoomplayer and ffdshow.  It seems like without
ffdshow the video is picked up with divx 5.03 and cant seem to handle
the xvid.   Perhaps this is why adding -ffourcc gives people useable
video.

But I install the same software on a windows 2000 box(other box is xp)
I get no video.  Same version of zoomplayer, ffdshow, and directx.
