[mythtv-users] The format in which shows are recorded.

I've been reading the documentation and have been wondering about the 
format in which the recorded files are stored in.  And also to ask why 
the files aren't simply stored in a .avi container using a standard 
mpeg4 codec such as XVid?  That way, we could simply use the MythTV 
machine as a file server and download the files.

Can this be a setting?  Why must MythTV encode using its own format?
