In a search for trying to convert HDPVR tp files to XVID, I came across this interesting device.
MvixPVR PS. Does anyone know of a way to convert HDPVR tp files to XVID (avi)? Ugghhh nevermind....just delete this post pls. Seems to be a glorified VCR.

The Mvix can't handle HD. I got bad info when I posted it and noted it in the comments. Sorry, not the panecea we hoped for.
There is another possibility I'm hearing talked about involving SiliconDust. Not a lot of details yet and SiliconDust hasn't confirmed, but could be a good thing.

Isn't this an option that is built into BeyondTV? Showsqueeze works just fine for transcoding my .tp files into H.264 files(my chosen option). |

ShowSqueeze doesn't do XVid. It does DiVx and H.264, both of which are MPEG-4 codecs.
Have you checked the software that comes with the HD-PVR? It has a lot of conversion options.

If you need an app that will transcode MPEG4 files into .AVI container, I'd look here:

Handbrake will convert HD PVR files to xvid, tested it, slow but it works.

Re: Possible Competition for the Hauppauge HD-PVR?
Why does it have to be XVID rather than divx that BTV supports?
