My MythTV is working pretty well, except that my wife and I can't watch Live TV on our own PC's at the same time, but only having one TV card I don't think there's a way around that. One problem wae are having is that the brightness level on Live TV and on the recordings MythTV makes is too high. I know I saw a brightness control somewhere on the interface last week, but now I can't find it. Also, what should I set the stream type in Recording Profiles so that I can get full screen recordings without huge file size? Someone recommended VCD for converting my MythTV media files to a lower resolution (and therefore smaller file size), and I saw an option for stream type "MPEG-1 VCD", but when I try to view recordings made with that setting in MythTV it looks like it's trying to cast full screen mode into wide screen mode by stretching the video horizontally. I can watch the videos just fine in gmplayer, but my wife won't be able to (unless I either share the recordings directory via NFS or I copy the files that are in that directory over to her PC - neither one an elegant solution. What settings should I change to get standard television quality in MythTV?
