PVR Cards and Mpeg4 Divx Encoding

spudgun · 2006-03-08, 15:23

I have just completed a Media Portal build, great product ! Everything is working fine including WinLirc and a home made IR receiver. I now want to add a PVR card. Everything I read suggests just to go and buy a Hauppauge PVR150. However, I would like to know if there is any advantage in buying a PVR that supports Mpeg4 Divx encoding such as the Plextor TV402U ? It is listed as a supported device but would Media Portal take advantage of the DIVX capability ?
All suggestions greatfully recieved

If you use the forum search you'll find that at the moment only the mpeg 2 part is supported.
