fast transcoding of pvr-250 created files

[Mike Tancsa]

I just got my pvr250 up and running again and was wondering what 
people use for fast and efficient transcoding ?  The native format is 
quite large and I want to convert the file into xvid or divx for 
later viewing, but I dont want to reduce the quality too 
much.  Anyone doing anything similar, and if so what program are you 
using with what options ?

% tcprobe -i daily-26.mpg
[tcprobe] MPEG program stream (PS)
[tcprobe] summary for daily-26.mpg, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected
import frame size: -g 720x480 [720x576] (*)
      aspect ratio: 4:3 (*)
        frame rate: -f 29.970 [25.000] frc=4 (*)
                    PTS=0.4004, frame_time=33 ms, bitrate=9520 kbps
       audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x50 [0x2000] (*)
                    PTS=0.3338, bitrate=384 kbps
                    -D 1 --av_fine_ms 33 (frames & ms) [0] [0]


Thanks!
