MPEG2 to DIVX

I have a bunch of Tivo files that are taking up too much disk space on my computer. I was going to burn a bunch of DVDs, but I thought I'd investigate whether I could convert them to another format (such as DivX).

I successful converted the files to MPEG2 using DirectShow Dump utility.

When I create a DivX file using Pinnacle Studio 10, the file is about 1/3 the size, but the audio is out of sync with the video. (I also don't like this method because of the manual effort required for each file).

I found two programs that allow a conversion of MPEG2 to DivX in batch mode: SmartSoft Video Converter and WinAVI Video Converter. Both programs seem to avoid the audio problem I had with Studio 10. However, the aspect ratio of the output file is different. (I think. Here's what I see.)

I have both programs set to preserve original aspect ratio. I am using DivX 6.5 PRO. When I play the new DivX file on the computer, it doesn't "stretch" to the same area of the screen as the MPEG2 file. When I play the MPEG2 file full screen, it takes up the full screen. When I play the DivX file full screen, I get a black border around the video; the actual video does not take up the full screen.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian
