    Newbir question:

    I have brought a TV tuner card with video capturing for my PC. I want
    to capture some TV programs and record them on DVD or CD to be played
    on both normal and HDTV.

    Question:

    Which format should I use? I have been suggested to use Mpeg2, Mpeg4,
    DiVX. What are the pros and con of each format for my purposes?

    Thanks for helping!

    To be compatible, use MPEG2 for DVDs, MPEG1 for VCDs. Anything else may not
    play in most machines

    Some newer models will play Divx and Xvid, which can give you excellent quality
    with much smaller files than mpeg-2. A guy I know at work just bought this one
    and he said it played the Divx and Xvid CDs I gave him just fine.
