The more the better. The higher the quality or rate of the incoming video, the higher the quality of the MPEG2 compressed video will be. That output can be varried with the type of programing...(ie. action sports have more movement than talk shows therefore requiring more bandwidth) It is my understanding that VBR..or variable bit rate encoding is what seperates the men from the boyz. For nuts and bolts numbers look here: c-cube.com Flexibility for High Definition High-level (HL@MP) MPEG-2 applications such as HDTV encoding require two to eight times more processing power than do main-level (ML@MP) broadcast applications like direct broadcast satellite. The "MP" in the ML@MP specification stands for Main Profile, indicating that standard MPEG2 techniques, such as chroma decimation and the use of B frames, are allowed. The different levels and profiles of MPEG2 encoding are shown in Table 1.
