[QUOTE="FlipGer, post: 26654, member: 10293"] Hi, No and a very small yes. ;) No - MP does not encode at all! Your PVR 500 does encode to MPEG2 in hardware. Therefor it is called a Analog Hardware Encoding card. Now the digital era begins with DVB. DVB signal are allready encoded in MPEG2 by the broadcaster. So there is no need to reencode to something like MPEG4. You can convert the MPEG2 to MPEG4 after recording. MP->My TV->Recordings->Compression (but it is buggy at the moment). Yes - MP does encode in MPEG4 with Analog Software cards. But this does stress the system very much. Also the support for Analog Software cards will not be developed anymore within MP. This is because of the wide range of PVR cards and the upcoming DVB. DVB will encoded and broadcast in something similar to MPEG4 in the future for HDTV support. HTH, Flip. [/QUOTE]
