i can record with compression if i want to, its just that the quality is bad(i.e. i can capture straight to mpeg1,2 & 4 and also can manually change the bitrate and resolution if I want). The problem is if I want decent quality I have to record everything as raw avi format or as a compromise, 720x576(DVD PAL) at 6000 - 9000 bitrate, hence the big files. If I capture to vcd or svcd spec. then the quality is very poor. Capturing straight to divx isnt much good either.

I just want to try some different software to see what the difference is. Any ideas as to a decent software package?
