DivX or Xvid codec recording

[captain slug]

Granted this would have to be done with software encoding in most cases, but with my previous capture card (Leadtek Winfast TV2000XP) and it's included software I was able to select DivX as the codec used for recording compression.

Not having to recompress my videos nigthly would save me a lot of time. Also perhaps maybe this could be utilized as a quality setting profile. That way I could record certain programs in DivX or Xvid as desired, but have MPEG2 as the default method.

Just thinking out loud. This isn't a deal-breaker but would be a really useful edition, especially for those of us that are trying to record certain programs specifically for playback on mobile devices.

Only DivX hardware encoder devices like the PX-TV402U can record divx files with GB-PVR. This wont be changing in the future.

How about a means of automatically storing a recording in normal MPEG2 in a temp folder and then invoking a Divx or Xvid conversion plug-in which would render the MPEG2 into a DIVX file and place it in a folder which GBPVR would normally create if it were recording in MPEG. Obviously this would be non-real time but a great way for the server to utilize unused processing cycles to give you the video you ultimately want?

That is already available with memcoder well something similar it can be told to delete the mpeg2 file after the conversion has happen check out http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=6432
