Re: Why no Mpeg2 in ShowSqueeze?
You don't need to showsqueeze to get lower bitrate mpeg2 recordings. Go to web admin and select a different, or make a custom, recording profile and your BTV recordings will be smaller (ie lower quality) most use a DVD ready profile that is about 2 GB/ hr. Try different settings and pick the one that is OK for you and your particular set up.
Divx is a better codec (h264 even better) so you can take a high quality mpeg recording and compress it down to a much smaller size with little perceptible loss in quality. People showsqueeze to save disk space but with today's prices for HDDs many would argue that it is not worth the time and effort.
