With the latest of GBPVR, it seems like the latest additions include an automatic conversion process. I recently had this situation--a friend of mine wanted me to burn him a show, but rather than do it on dvd, i thought i'd pass it on to him in an .avi format. Now I have programs that can convert mpeg2 to avi, i'd like a plugin feature that can do the conversion selectively.
I did a little search and it sounds like a lot of the questions have to do with people wanting some transcoding features for the mvp. My wish is not for the mvp, just for the system set up directly to a tv. And it is to selectively adding the files that i want for conversion, maybe then select the conversion method, and then maybe even scheduling the conversion (cause it takes a long time, huh!?--a 60 minute, 3gb mpeg2 file has been converting for the past 4 hours, and its only at 60%)...
On a side note, when using avi, can someone who has experimented with different conversion methods (screen size, bitrate, divx version) maybe send me a quick little thing about what is the best speed/quality balance??

If you want to know why nPVR is the bomb, ask my wife!
