This is a simple guide to setting up HandBrake for use in GB-PVR. It is pretty easy.
First you will to download and install HandBrake. You can get it here...

You can open the attached .ZIP file for XP or Vista and save “XviD 2-Pass.bat” to “C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\Third Party” for Windows XP or to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Devnz\GBPVR\Third Party” for Windows Vista. This file has all the settings needed to encode using XviD.
The rest of these directions will be for Windows XP. If you use Windows Vista, change “Program Files” to “Program Files (x86)”.
Now you will need to go to “C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR”. Right-click once on “config.xml” then left-click once on OPEN WITH > NOTEPAD.
Once “config.xml” is open in NOTEPAD, scroll down to the section called “<CustomFFmpegConversions>”. You will see a list of conversion types. You will need to add the following in the same way the others are listed...
Now close NOTEPAD and be sure to save the changes you made when asked.
That command links to the .BAT file you saved earlier to the “Third Party” folder.
Now you will need to open the CONFIG for GB-PVR double-clicking on “Config.exe” in “C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR”.
Go to the PROCESSING tab. Change “Auto-Convert MPG recordings to:” to “XviD 2-pass”. You can change the other two drop-down options there to the same if you like. Click OK to save the change.
Now when you record a program, HandBrake will convert it to an XviD .AVI file.
