I haven't compared in detail - seems much the same though. > How do you find FFMPEGrec compares with DIVX[4]rec in quality/size? I must do some proper comparisons. But I think for the same bitrate, DIVX looks better. I'm generally inclined to use mpeg1 with a generous bit rate for stuff recorded for viewing once, and then reencode to DIVX4 anything to be kept - two pass mencoder does a nice job for me... Steve
