Recording Parameters

Another of the prices we pay for the power and flexibility of the non-appliance solution is the necessity of doing some of the configuration ourselves.

The most important part of that configuration is probably choosing good parameters for recording and transcoding programs. What parameters work well depends on many things, personal taste not least among them.

In this section, users can post the parameters they're using and pleased with, so you have something to try out. If you'd like to add a line here, copy the header line to the bottom, and replace the text items.

You can use a Wiki Name or email address in that next to last column. If you'd like to register with the Wiki and help us out, please click Special:Preferences up in the top right corner and sign up.

Note: For MPEG2 cards, AvgKBPS is MinKBPS.
