How can I improve the picture quality?

June 28th, 2009

The HDPVR’s Hauppauge H264 Encoder filter includes a set of adjustable parameters that can be modified change the picture quality.

To open the Hauppauge H264 Encoder property page do the following:

  1. Open the DVBLink Source Configuration application
  2. Select your HDPVR source from the tree
  3. Click the Properties button to open the HDPVR Properties window
  4. Click the HDPVR Setup tab
  5. Click the Device Properties button

Please be aware that using a higher bitrate (Mbps) means that more data will go through your USB port. The HDPVR is somewhat sensitive to bandwidth overloads, so depending on your system’s configuration, using bitrate too high might lead to the HDPVR freezing.
