I have a non-mpeg2 card, so I have to software encode. Do I encode or
transcode
with software?
Where does the trans/en-coded file reside afterwards? What is its
suffix? Why is
the .old.nuv smaller than the .nuv if it is true that the .old.nuv is
the full
.nuv file not the trans/encoded one?
And how do I set-up which quality of encoding a particular recording
receives. Other than the default that is.
Is the file Encoded as it is recorded or after it is complete?

Thank You Very Much.
