I have looked through a bunch of posts, and some come close to answering what I need, but just haven't found the exact solution just yet.
That said, here is what I am looking for:
I am using an ATI 7500-AIW to record TV shows on my PC.
I set it to record in Mpeg2 format, at a video size of 720X480.
An hour show usually comes in around 1.2GB.

I have downloaded shows from newsgroups before, and I see that most are in avi format with divx encoded, and the file size is around 150-200MB, and the size of the video is rather large, I am guessing maybe 800X600.
The quality isn't perfect, but it is still rather good.

I would like to be able to record my own shows then convert them to that format for storage on CD-ROM.

I use the ATI software for recording, womble Mpeg2vcr to edit out the commercials, and sometimes I use tmpgenc to convert it to mpeg1 if needed.

I will keep searching for an answer also, but if anyone could point me to some software, or a link to a How-To, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your time.

Funny thing about pocket DivX encoder though is that it uses mencoder for encoding and can't actually encode with DivX. It uses XviD or libavcodec's ASP MPEG4 codec.
