[QUOTE="Noelix, post: 89792, member: 18535"] I'm a bit lazy at the moment to do the searching for you but the answer to your questions are located on the forum in various places. Currently the compression feature is more or less out of date, as the priority to shift development towards the new tv server engine took priority. The new tv server engine records directly to mpeg2, which should help out the compression functionality in the future. To compress to xvid, yes you need to install xvid, that's a given. Yes you need to install the elecard mpeg2 decoder, and no I don't really know why that's required. Be sure to get the right version of it though, not the latest version (it's on the forums somewhere). It does work, I've tried it, but it's only a trial, and after that's up the decoder puts this ugly image on your encodes, so in the end it isn't worth it after all. My suggestion is to convert your files to mpeg-2, and then use VirtualDubMod or VirtualDub to compress to xvid. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
