Convert HD-PVR recordings to XVID
What free software can I use to convert my HD-PVR recordings to .avi XVID or DIVX? I have a bunch of movies that I want converted and stored with my other .avi movies.

The question that pops in my head is why? The HD-PVR's H.264 is probably already giving you better complression than xvid will.

I use dvrmstoolbox to automatically convert specific shows (by title) to xvid/aac for my phone.

And you're converting HD PVR .ts files? if so, I'll certainly give it a try. Is it very hard to do?

Yep. I don't think it's hard, but I wrote it so my opinion could be skewed

I'm curious why you use another tool and not the sage convert menu. I tend to convert stuff for the ipod for the kids, but I have only ever used the sage convert menu.

2) skips commercials as part of the process 3) if it doesn't work, I have an SLA w/ the developer 4) built the conversion process originally when the sage transcoder (and everything else) was having a/v sync issues w/ hd pvr captures |

It's managed code but relies heavily on DirectShow (a Win32 media framework); so the basic infrastructure could probably run using Mono, but this aspect wouldn't work w/o some wine.

install dvrmstoolbox, run the dtb video editor, select the desired coded and container (avi & mp4 are supported OOTB; mpg & mkv require 2rd party filters), then click "convert"
