Let's see if I can get this poll stuff right.
The current record modes look something like this (on the R4K)
SQ : 2mbps 352x480
MQ: 4mbps 720x480 (double the bitrate, but double the resolution. What's the point?)
HQ: 6mbps 720x480 (pretty good but artifacted a lot, particulary on poor cable feeds where compression efficiency is lost on compressing noise, or in the case of DBS : compressing other MPEG artifacts)
In a geek driven worlds the following options would exist:
LowQ: 352x480 2mbps
MedQ:352x480 4mbps (these two middle ones are a nice balance on quality and quantity)
HighQ:480x480 6mbps
SuperQ:720x480 8mbps
What do you think?
