Can I increase WMC recording quality up from 720x576?
Hi everyone,
I am looking for a little expert help, and my many hours of experimenting and googling have bourne no fruit so far.
I use my Dell desktop/Win7 Professional 64 Bit/Media Centre/Hauppauge HVR-1000 combination to record over the air TV (DVB-T Freeview in the UK).
Using MediaInfo, I can see that all recordings are 720x576 (16:9) at 25,000fps, MPEG Video (PAL) (Version 2).
When I play these recordings on my HD TV, through my Sony PS3, the picture is tiny - approximately a third of the available screen estate. Zooming into full screen makes the quality very poor as you can imagine.
I would like to increase the Media Centre recording quality, ideally from 720x576 up to 1920x1080 to match my TV's capability. Anyone know how to do this? I have no Best/Better/Good/etc quality dropdown in Media Centre, so perhaps the Hauppage HVR-1000 is the limiting factor?
Thanks for any advice or help,
Martin.
