The Plextor PX-TV-402U will do hardware DiVX encoding, though I have
seen some posts here about problems with recent kernels.
I'm also not totally sure what modes of the Plextor are supported by
Myth. I know the MPEG2 modes aren't supported but MPEG4 is, not sure
about the DiVX variants of MPEG4.
I've seen these units available for about $50 these days, probably
because they will become less popular with analog broadcasting stops,
but of course they will still work for the output of an STB or sat
receiver. I think there is also a version without a tuner for even
less money.
