The Plextor has H/W compression, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4/DiVX, but
Myth only supports MPEG-4 at this time.
The MPEG-4 does look very good though, as long as you don't want to
use a MediaMVP and accept the fact that you'll have to transcode to
burn a DVD, and can't play it back with most XvMC setups, it saves a
lot of space.

Since the board in question has Intel 915GM graphics, XvMC is not an
option anyway. I'll take a look at the plextor and the drivers.
Thanks for your help!<br>
