| Hi,
Just a couple of updates about your Theater 650 Pro inquiries:
-Regarding video conversion, it is done using the same technology as the Avivo Video Converter, which can be used from CMC. So currently it's purely software, but it's actually really fast and a lot faster then some of the other things I've compared it to.
-Regarding VBR, I've done some testing myself with a Theater 650 Pro card using CMC and I got some nice results. I recorded some sports news so there were some talking scenes and some fast paced scenes and here is how the recordings looked:
All of these recordings were in MPEG-2 DVD format:
Base: 2M, Peak: 5M, I got rates between 0.42 and 4.70
Base: 5M, Peak: 9M, I got rates between 1.83 and 8.88
So that looks all fine to me.
