It did, thx.
It was interesting to see. You brightness/contrast is obviously set higher, or more like the default settings I reduced. I raised mine a little last night just slightly, but it would still be darker than yours. But that's intentional on my part, and if I used those settings, non-animated bright-color video would just wash out entirely.
That aside, w/o nitpicking every aspect, the images seemed roughly the same. Your bitrate is a little higher, and your image is deinterlaced. That will clean it up some. You still had some dot crawl, but only around the adult swim logo noticeably. You did have this black line that rolled down the screen (very slight...you can make it out a little in the 3rd image at eye level). I couldn't tell if that may just be from the cable signal.
Overall, it was worth seeing because it made me happy w/ the quality of my recording. If you like yours, then you should be happy it's better the way you like it (I like a little more dark, so mine suits me better). I appreciate you making the effort to make the swap.
I attched a cpl of crude side-by-side shots (mine left, yours right) just so people can see what we were seeing and talking about (since I'm guessing you'll unlink your vid clip eventually, too).
Btw, one thing you can do for your sound is raise it from 44Khz to 48Khz. I do other post-processing, but that alone may give you more range.
Again, thx for sharing.
