Reply With QuoteI know a guy that runs a TV station called TRN TV in Britain, and he has worked with DVB-S for who knows how long. I suggest you send him a message on MSN @ msn@iandoh.co.uk. His name is Ian Doherty. That's my 2 cents.
DVB-S Pure Digital Capture
Since I'm disappointed with some of the S-video capture quality.
Sometime next year I want to get a DVB-S card,
I know with my setup i'd need to split the Satellite cable and buy an Irdeto CAM to accept my Smartcard.
Anyone else got anymore info on DVB-S capture, as I only have basic knowledge of it.

Yeah hmm not as sure as I was the other day since I got an Xvid encoding from a huffy yuv capture and it still isn't anything special.
Maybe Channel [v]'s bitrate is too low
Mostly the case, my Analog TV rips in NTSC don't look all that great either in 640x480 XviD.Originally Posted by Frenchy

Well of course, as people like us both who rip using composite video definitely gets shitty picture.
My brother and I are thinking about putting our "Holiday" money (as to not offend any non-Christians.) together and buying a big HDTV to put in our basement. Maybe if we are lucky it will force my parents to upgrade to Digital Cable and then I will get HD. :)Well of course, as people like us both who rip using composite video definitely gets shitty picture.
Sweet. I have a 37 incher sitting in my living room, looks damn good with HD channels. But the con is there isn't many HD chans here yet. I'm sure u guys have more, like one called Palladia, a HD music chan which I think would be damn good for XviDs.
It used to be called MHD over here in the states, Music High Definition, it played some pretty great live acts until it was call Palladia. I don't see it carried yet by any of our providers because MTV HD, VH1 HD, and CMT HD replaced it which are all the stations that worked on MHD.Sweet.

Oh. Well anyways, you may wanna start capping again if u get any of those channels. Would b nice to have more XviDs around.
Well the best Desktop computer I have only has PCI slots, not PCI-E. So the capping card I would have to get for it would be pretty low compared to what everyone else uses here on VP. Plus I would have to get a whole other cable box to put in the room next to it which is like another $10 a month.Oh. Well anyways, you may wanna start capping again if u get any of those channels.

I see. Well just so u know, there are good USB capture 'sticks' around for yr laptop.
I am not aware of any HDMI or Component USB video input sticks. Hopefully with the release of USB3 sometime next year, they will be able to start making them.I see. Well just so u know, there are good USB capture 'sticks' around for yr laptop.
EDIT: Just found this:

Looks promising! Maybe I should get it!
EDIT 2: Just realized it's only meant for SD video...

Maybe I should get it and see how a 1080i HD source looks on it. It would probably look pretty good on it, if resized to SD.
Nah I think I'd rather get a proper HD capture stick, as HD image won't look good when capturing with SD settings.
