I'm still trying to figure out how exactly I want to store/encode these videos, and as such, I'll probably be running some more tests tonight. Season 1 of MI-5 ended up with 6 episodes weighing in at 2.86GiB (compressed from 15.8GiB). Anyhoo...the videos look ok, but at a full 17", artifacts can be seen, though I am quite close to my 17" monitor. I'll probably run some tests, setting a target size, trying 90% instead of 85% (maybe even 95% - though it made no difference with Viva La Bam) and then try another alternative tomorrow if nothing works - perhaps XviD isn't the way to go.

I really need to get the MAME computer converted to MCE so I can see how the files look on an actual TV rather than here on my desktop on my monitor which runs at a much higher resolution that any TV in the house.
