I hope someone can help me out here. I have a USB DHTV + Digital TV tuner for the PC. Its great and I am doing a little recording due to the World Cup. I had a PCI unit and it's captured files would come to around 6 gig (mpg) and then could be compressed to about 500 meg via TMPGEnc with very little, if not any noticable loss of image quality.

But........

With the capture files of this new unit (MSI PC-TV Mega Sky 580), they come out at about 4 gig (mpg) for a 90 minute match. When I try do the exactly the same compression via TMPGEnc there is quite a noticable loss in image, which is a shame since it records such a quality image in the first place.

How can I get the quality image with some decent compression. The main use is for recording documentaries and then putting them on DVD. At this rate, I'll get 1 per DVD. With the old unit, I'd get around 6 or more per DVD.

Cheers for any help anyone can offer.

How about compressing to XviD, or take a look at this guide, was the old recording HDTV because HDTV will take up alot more space than regualr SD tv. Take a look at this, might find it helpful.

But if youre just keeping the files for storage, i strongly suggest XviD as it works great with HDTV and can compress easily wiht tools such as AutoGk.
