    MPEG to XviD or DivX?

    Hi,
    Perhaps someone can help me with this?

    Here's what I want to do:

    SKY+ digibox to WinTV PVR-350 videocard (in PC)

    Need to transfer TV programs - edit commercials - then convert to XviD or DivX to get the filesize down without losing too much quality and retaining aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9).

    What is the best program to use?
    Is VirtualDub the best?
    Is it straight forward? buggy?
    Can I choose quality (filesize) settings prior to conversion?
    Which is best XviD or DivX?

    Almost all of these TV programmes are in Stereo/Pro-Logic Surround or Mono. So, no worries about 5.1
    I want to write them a data - not VCD or SVCD
    Although, I might consider XSVCD as a secondary option.

    Current filesize is: 1hr = 2GB

    Thanks in advance

    DF
