What does Qf mean? in Gspot. When using Gspot I find I get higher rates when capturing between Scenalyser and WinDv. Is this a quality issue, does higher mean better.

"Gspot also allows you to check other features of your file. Many people tend to check the bitrate of a video file to check its quality, but the frame quality (Qf) is just as important - usually for a 1-CD (700mb) file it should be close to 0.20 bits/pixel, for a 2-CD file it should be close to 0.27. A new feature of GSpot is identification of B-VOP, Qpel and GMC. Note that if your file contains Qpel or GMC it is more than likely that an avi-compatible stand-alone dvd player will not be able to decode it."

Qf is a "Frame Quality" value in bits/pixel-frame.
