[mythtv-users] Encoding into mjpeg and then later to mpeg4

[Kellen Sunderland]

Hey list, I'm building my first MythTV box and I've got a question.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to get a pvr250, or use my cpu to 
encode caps.  I've got a duron 1.4ghz I'm going to put in this box.  Is 
there anyway with MythTV that you could set your computer to convert 
from a large mjpeg(@19 or so) file to a small XviD file when the 
computer is idle.  If you can't do that already do you think it'd be a 
good idea for me to put the time in and try to get mythtv to do it 
myself (I'm a programmer and have experience with virtual dub etc.)? Or 
should I just be lazy get a pvr250, and encode to mpeg2?
