> Out of curiosity, whats the ballpark average bitrate of your non-sports 1080p > content?
Following the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) guidelines there's no 1080p broadcast in Europe and will most propably not happen. The HD formats in Europe are 1280x720p50, 1440x1080i25 and 1920x1080i25. The majority of the european public service broadcasting institutions are using 720p50. The privat broadcasting stations are using one of the 1080i25 formats, a majority 1920x1080i25. Bitrate on the 720p50 channels is up to 16Mbit/s but rarely below 10Mbit/s. The range for the private 1080i25 channels is much wider, from real bad 8Mbit/s up to 20Mbit/s on some sports channels. Thanks to Nvidias VDPAU capabilities there's no difference watching 720p or 1080i, even 576i looks like HD. => https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/techreports/tr005.pdf Stations & industries are working on 4k broadcasting, means 3840 × 2160i/p. fnu _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org https://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
