Hi KC2DQS. I just wanted to welcome you here and to thank you for your contributions to the ScreenPlay Pro HD pages. Those results you came up with in the recording test are rather surprising. Did you record the exact same video for 1 hour? Because you would get different compression sizes depending upon the amount of action in the videos. Also, I notice you have LP listed twice, but no SP. I'm not sure if that was intended or not. Anyway, thanks again. --JCoug 14:20, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I would recommend recording the same segment of video from a video tape or DVD player for about 5 minutes, then multiply the results by 12. You don't want to do a test pattern, or else you'll end up with skewed results because there won't be much motion.  A 5 minute period of video will have scene transitions, motion, and audio and will act as a good sample for what one could expect from any other 5 minute segment.  By keeping it the exact same segment for each test, it keeps the other factors that affect the file size out of it so that you can get a fair and accurate comparison of all of the quality levels.  The trailer from the DVD you're trying would work fine as well.
 * My full time job is a programmer, although it has nothing to do with my current skill set. I've been in programming for over 20 years, with experience in many assembly languages and operating systems.  Hacking consumer electronics has been my hobby for years.  --JCoug 00:22, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
