Is there a proggy that records live TV to DIVX on the fly?

Is there a program that records live TV straight to DIVX instead of to MPG...or is it even possible?

My DDR radeon VIVO would do it, when I usd to have that card. The PC wasn't fast enough for fullscreen though, had to do 320x240.

Are our PC's even fast enough to do real time DiVX encoding? Doesn't it take hours to rip and encode a DVD?

Yeah, 320x240 is all I need for cable TV capturing.

Most of the cpu power is in decoding the mpeg2 stream. Most of the new cpus can do divx + mp3 at 50+ fps too.

I've tried iuVCR with good results, it records up to 640x480. I would record the audio uncompressed to save the CPU and then compress it later with Virtualdub.

Yep. It's called live tv straight to divx instead of to mpg v3.1

You can get it at www.live-tv-straight-to-divx-instead-of-to-mpg.com

:)

linky no worky, perhaps you meant one of these?

I guess you didn't get it. Remember that IRC quote page (I just re-posted it)? One went like this:

how long did it take you to learn c?
4.5 minutes
really? wow. how did you learn it that quick?
i got this program called download sh!t into your brain v3.1
where can i download it?
www.download-sh!t-straight-into-your-brain.com
I can't download it. The link doesn't work.

I have PowerVCR II, but I can't seem to find the option to capture directly to DIVX.
