Sapphire Theatrix: Bit rate Settings

[TheThinMan]

Hello,
I have been using GB-PVR since version 91.12 with my Theatrix card. I have been using GraphEdit to adjust the bitrate on both video & audio, since it was not yet able to be adjusted in GB-PVR. I just installed 92.8 & and no matter what I set the bit rate at in "Medium/Default" it records at 3Mbps bitrate with a peak of 7Mpbs variable and the Audio stays at 384kbps no matter what I set it at (192, 224, etc). However, the video bitrates appear to "stick" in Custom1 & Custom2 quality settings, but again the audio stays at 384kbps no matter what I set them at. Do I need to uninstall GB-PVR completely and make a fresh install with 92.8 to get the bitrates to work properly? I know without a doubt this is the best program available for the Theatrix, paid or free! I just want to get the bitrates to work for my setup. Thanks for any assistance provided.

I'll look into why the video bitrate isnt always working for you. It should be in this release.

GB-PVR doesnt attempt to control the audio bitrate on the Sapphire Theatrix. I'm not sure how to do this, so you'll just have to put up with tthe driver default for this.

Thanks for the quick reply! I am using the "ATI Theater 550 Pro" instead of the "ATI TV Wonder Elite" for the capture card type in Direct Recording Configuration, is that OK? The audio bitrate adjustment would just be a plus, if i can get the video bitrate straight that would be great. Thanks again for this amazing program and I will send in my donation soon.
