Most of the time, this works fine. However, occasionally, the video will not play back properly. It will freeze for 3 or 4 seconds, play for 3 or 4 seconds, freeze for 3 or 4 seconds, and so on. Sometimes, I get the "Network Issue" warning from Media Center. If I try to play the original .WTV file (untouched by MCEBuddy), it plays fine.
Also - there appears to be an issue with the skip ahead and skip back functionality - particularly as you approach the end of the show. It's as if the player is doing some sort of math against the original length of the program and not the shortened, commercials removed format.

Ah yes ofcourse the quality, I apologize I made a mistake in my command above, -q is for handbrake and this ffmpeg. You should be using qscale, see the updated below:
```
ffmpeg-video=-ss 3 -vf yadif=0:-1:1,hqdn3d -vcodec mpeg2video -qscale 5 -map 0:v -sn
```
The -qscale controls the base quality. the range is from (1 highest quality to 31 lowest quality - it's reverse).
Anyways don't worry about that just paste the above line in your profile and then you can control the quality from the quality slider in mcebuddy, it will adjust the qscale automatically.
Also don't forget to check your max width (default is 720), increase it to 1920 if you original video is HD and you want HD.
Finally you can also try using the WTV Unprocessed with the latest mcebuddy build and that should give you original quality without recoding (and faster).
