ATI TV Wonder Elite bitrate settings problem

[The Athlon]

Thanks to Sub for getting GBPVR to work with the TV Wonder Elite, hopefully I will be able to ditch PowerCinema soon.

I'm using a digital cable converter for my source, so I have been using manual recording to capture. Thus far I have only been able to capture video at a "medium" bitrate, about 5100kbps according to virtualdubmod. I have edited the bitrate settings for every recording mode available to try to get the card to capture at a higher bitrate with no resulting change in bitrate. I have tryed both variable and constant bitrate recording.

Am I missing something basic having to do with GBPVR settings? I'm wondering if the card is allowing the hardware encoding bitrates to be changed by GBPVR?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

No there seems to be a bug. Sub is on the case.

I'm seeing 8482 kbps, 5474 kbps, and 8487 kbps on a Sapphire Theatrix 550 kit. Unfortunately, while the 5474 was close to what was set, the last 8487 was a just-set custom#2 (default I think was 12000), which was set by me to be 2500 kbps or so (.mpg turned out at 8487 kbps). Maybe if I set high, it'll go low. hah
