Sorry if this has already been posted but I couldnt find an answer using the search. Ever since I installed GB-PVR a few days ago I've been having major problems with the recording quality. The default (medium) has too large a file size for me (roughly 3gb per hour) and no matter what I change the bitrates to in the config, it always records at the original settings (5000 kb/s for vid, 224 for audio). Even when I set a show to record at low quality (not using quick record), it somehow still records at the defaut medium quality! I didn't realize this problem until after I had recorded an all-day marathon on friday (set to record at low quality), which ended up using roughly 48gb of my hard drive space. I'm definitely not a computer newbie, but I cant figure out whats going on. Ive re-installed GB-PVR 3 times now (deleting the directory inbetween each one) and the problem still persists. It just doesnt want to record at what I set it to in the config! What am I doing wrong? I'm on an AMD Mobile Sempron 3000+ with 512mb ram, 160gb external hard drive (what im recording to) and a Hauppauge WinTV PVR2 USB.
