I've been using the Auto-convert options for my recordings to modify them to work on a video iPod. This has been working without errors, but I'd like to tweak the conversion settings to get better quality. The "settings" box is greyed out, so I can't change it from within GB-PVR...

What I want to change is:

1. Leave the resolution as-is. Currently the conversion down-converts the video to 320x240 (from a 720x480 original mpeg2 as recorded by gb-pvr using 'medium' settings)
2. Leave the frame rate intact (as 24 fps) Currently the conversion is changing this to 15 fps.
3. Improve quality (less compression artifacts). This might be fixed by fixing 1 and 2, but may need to be addressed separately.

Any suggestions?

You can edit the settings for this by editing the following line in config.xml:

<Conversion name="Video Ipod" cmd="-y -i {SOURCE_FILE} -title {TITLE_SUBTITLE} -f mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -s 320x240 -r 15 {DEST_FILE}" targetExtension=".mp4" />

To addess 1 & 2, try using -r 24, instead of -r 15. Also fiddle with the -s setting

Thanks! That probably did it, I'll leave a message here if it doesn't work for some reason.
