So I just got my EyeTV hybrid and have been using it with my Mac mini HTPC for a few weeks now. It's great. I have been working on my export settings and I have finally perfected them. I have 3 different quality settings that I use all exported as .mp4 files that run seamlessly in XBMC.
SD
720x404
1000kbps
23.98fps
~330MB for a 42 minute show
HD
1280x720
3500-4000kbps
23.98fps
~1GB for a 42 minute show
HD+
1920x1080
5500kbps
23.98fps
~1.4GB for a 42 minute show
Usually I use the 720p setting, but when I really like an episode I save it with the HD+ setting. When I say a 42 minute show, I mean a normal 1 hour long show with the commercials edited out. So what settings do you guys use for your setups?
