[QUOTE="socialSavant, post: 44888, member: 19132"] I have had something on my mind a while now and was unable to find anything about it on the forums here. If I missed a previous post, please show me the way. :) Mostly, I am interested in what the actual progression of formats is when watching/recording/"compress"ing via MP. That is to say, for example, I have the popular Hauppauge PVR-150 which is a Hardware MPEG encoder (as far as I understand) and record live tv via MP; which creates a DVR-MS file. I was wondering if this is absolutely necessary or is simply much easier to implement. It just seems to be a bit superfluous for me to go from MPEG -> DVR-MS -> MPEG (after using the "compress" function). If I am completely off-base, let me know; I am truly new at all this... Keep in mind, I am just trying to find a tweak or something that allows me to save a bit of space/cpu cycles as well as understand all this a lil' more. Thanks in advance, --socialSavant [/QUOTE]
