Settings for converting streamed Peekshows video

[levander]

Wondering if anyone's already played around with this so I can just try their settings?

Just tonight I'm starting this. I can get Peekshows video recorded using Replay Media Catcher. FLV Player plays them, but doesn't let me seek around in them. Windows Media Player plays them at like half speed, the audio is listenable, but it's really slow sounding. So, I want to convert the video.

Following the recommendation on the site, I'm trying AVS Video Converter. And, you can click stuff like "To DVD" or "To MPEG". I tried the "To MPEG" button on a file I recorded. Apparently, the default settings you convert to are like 1920x1080 and 15000 kbps. So, AVS is taking this little 320x240 and I don't know how many kbps FLV file I recorded and turned it into this giant, HD capable video.

Has anyone already got good settings for what to convert video captured from Peekshows?

I remember in TMPGenc, you could just convert it to the same settings that were in the source file which resulted in much less quality degradation. But, I think that was for when you were converting from MPEG to MPEG, so I'm not so sure it matters...
