That's a great card Latexxx, but then you still need to re-encode for doing (S)KVCD(KDVD).
But I agree, that with that card (or a similar DVB card) you get the native MPEG-2 stream just as it was transmitted, and then it's a matter of demuxing it from the transport stream, and re-encoding it :)
The quality should be way better than a capture/re-encode.
BTW, here's a link that talks about DVB. It's an excelent (one of the best!) sites with DVB and MPEG information: http://www.coolstf.com/mpeg/
And they make this great program TSReader which is a transport stream analyzer: http://www.coolstf.com/tsreader/index.html

Inc,

I think you're missing a point here:
PAL-M (the system used in Brazil) is not a PAL variation like PAL-N, PAL-G and PAL-B. PAL-M is, despite the name, a NTSC variation with different color codification! In fact you can even feed PAL-M signal to a NTSC device and you'll be able to see the image, just in B&W. :wink:
I know, I was just curious about the other way around. :D You forgot to mention what happens when converting trully interlaced 29.97 NTSC streams to PAL. :wink: I really would like to know how this is done. :D

VM :) ,

I meant with saying NTSC the fps 23.976 and 29.97 ... you're right with PAL for Brazil etc. but in here all our things do base on framerates. :)

NTSC truely interlaced to PAL:

DGBob(order=1)
ConvertFPS(50)
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4, 1, 2)

I took the routine from the Smoothinterlace conversion scripts at avisynth.org
http://www.avisynth.org/index.php?pa...rlaceFunctions
but I replaced here Smoothdeinterlace with Dgbob as Dgbob is also a full rate deinterlacer and btw its faster and the quality is better.

I neither have one, but I have one of these for satellite and another one for Finnish DVB-T. The European channel availability is pretty good but the operators tend to be too greedy when stucking 10 channels into one transmitter so they are no good for transcoding. Fortunately, the image quality of DBT-T is much better.

Ps. Most of the American series are sent as 25 Hz progressive 720*576 @ DVB-T. Those would be transcodable if I had a DVB-T card for my PC. :D

Here's another capture/encode I did last night, from the movie "Men of Honor"
This one is full screen movie. Clip size is ~10MB:

I used the same settings as the previous encode, with minor changes, of course.

That Nokia is a damn good receiver :cool:
Mine is a cheap ~$130.00 receiver :lol:
But I do like the "Blind Scan" feature it has, that once you are locked on a transponder, you just tell it to do a search, and it will find all signals on the transponder (Video and Radio), and automatically programs the unit :)
So it's great for "hunting" signals :cool:
But you guys in Europe have the BEST in DVB free channel selection :twisted:
I'm lucky to be farther east of the West coast of the US, and I can get some satellites that are not available even on the West coast. But still, that's a small selection compared to all the satellites that are hanging over you guys :lol:
