[QUOTE="Kaki, post: 85010, member: 25960"] As mentioned, divx on-the-fly worked well for me, using Showshifter on my Pentium M 1.6 GHZ laptop and a software-encoding based analogue card. And I was very happy with the quality, which to me looked better than post-compressed MPEG recordings from MCE and MP. I am not aware though, if it is even technically possible to record divx on the fly with a hardware-encoding based analogue tv tuner? Never used this type of tv tuner. And I am even less aware if it is technically possible with a digital tv tuner? But what about a tv tuner which has a hardware-based mpeg4 encoder, analogue or digital, does that exist and is supported generally (MP and MCE)? I just find it too space-, time- and quality consuming to record in mpeg-format. The hardware aspect of the general world of consumer pc's (size of harddrives, especially in a laptop) just doesn't correspond to to the software aspect. Having said that, I am very impressed with the vision behind MP, and I'm glad to have found a piece of software that supports my tv tuner. [/QUOTE]
