What bit rates do you all use?

[Ericwiz]

I am using variable 4400 to 8000. I changed medium quality to this so that it's what I record at and I changed live tv as well.

I haven't expirimentet much, but these are the settings I'm using:

High:
720x576
5500 - 9000 Kbit/sec vbr

Medium:
720x576
2500 - 4200 Kbit/sec vbr

Low:
480x576
1500 - 3700 Kbit/sec vbr

Live:
720x576
2000 - 5000 Kbit/sec vbr

It all looks very nice trough the tv-out on the pvr-350

Custom 1- 4000-5000
Custom 2- 4800-6000

I use Custom 2 mostly, and quality is perfect for TV and DVD burning for that matter. It generates a file about 2.1 gig in size for a 1 hour movie. A 2 hour movie will fit on a single DVD without transcoding.
