Has anyone done much experimenting with different quality (EP-HQ) output settings against input quality (basic-best)?
There is also the question of transcode quality level (faster-medium-best). How does that affect results and time?
I tried a High quality show at all four output levels and found I liked LP the best for its soft, smooth look. SP and HQ introduced a sharp edginess and verticle lines or columns (as best as I can describe.) EP was less detailed than LP.
Are there any rules helpful to know about resolution formats, etal. between the TiVo recording levels and the DVD levels?
Would it be desirable to have alternative transcoders to MyDVD's?
