    I'm tinkering with the possibility of encoding directly from my crapy winTV card with the likes of futurama and the simpsons episodes. I haven't really looked around at Codecs, can anyone recommend a codec which doesn't drop frames like a good thing and can encode at a half decent resolution.

    Divx may be the dogs 8ollox, but you'd need a Pentium X running at 10 gigs to encode realtime with divx. I'm looking for a half decent realtime video encoder, the results of which I could re-encode with divx to reduce the size.

    Bring it to MPEG2 and convert it or else use RealProducer8 at a high bandwidth setting.
    Or MJPEG...there's loads of suitable codecs out there.
