Excellent Tweak for ReplayTV/TiVo Files (or any TV capture)
I get excellent quality from Analog Cable or Boradcast TV captures on my ReplayTV using the KVCD3 template with the following tweaks:
Change resolution to 480 x 480 (352 was not detailed enough but 528 was overkill) Change minimum bit rate from 300 to 0. (Also, eliminate the padding!) Change 23.97 to 29.97 Use this Avisynth script: Mpeg2Source("xxxx.d2v") LegalClip() FieldDeinterlace() Cnr2() GripCrop(480, 480, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=false) GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize") STMedianFilter(8, 32, 0, 0, 8, 32) PixieDust() BlockBuster(method="noise", detail_max=7, variance=0.5, seed=1) GripBorders() LegalClip() This seems to work great for any type of capture. (If you are doing a movie you will want to add in IVTC to compensate for the original 23.97). I use TMPGEnc and the current KVCD3 template with the tweaks above. The file sizes are small and I am still surprised by the quality. The only negative is the encode times can be high. I am running around 3x real time time on an Athlon 2200+.
