I know its impossible to play HD on the MVP without transcoding. however right now my PC wont keep up with the "on the fly" transcoding for more than a minute or so. the alternatives as far as i know are to increase priority of the ffmpeg process (currently not doable from config.xml but i put in a request) OR to convert finished recordings and then play them.
i'm using the ATI codecs to capture MPEG directly from my BDA card (HVR 950). it dumps 720p or 1080i and i was wondering if there's a way to set the codec up to dump 480i instead of HD while recording the scheduled program as a way of avoiding the later transcoding. i'm aware that my CPU might not be able to record and transcode at the same time but i'd like to try it first if thats possible.
any suggestions are appreciated.
