    I dont quite understand the question. Do you have an older "framegrabber", IE wintv-go or a newer PVR one?

    yes it is an older version of wintv-records with no compression and takes up loads of space-there are a number of compression options none of which seems to work.
    thanks for the reply

    well Xvid or Divx would be good. But you'll need a minimum of a 1.8Ghz or so CPU to capture in real time.

    What software are you using? Are you capturing TV stations or Video from a camera etc etc.

    Use Huffy or Mjpeg at 18/19 for good results. (lower setting for smaller filesize/less quality)
    Mjpeg is not very CPU intensive from my experience.
    Once you've captured, convert to DVD or MPEG4 etc.

    Huffy is free out of the two.

    Huffy is huge though too, of course if you are editing later then huffy is a good idea. Thats what I did with some Video 8 conversions a while back.
