  Sorry for the potential misfiling of my post, though given that I would need some developer input if I was going to add this option, I felt it best to post here.

real-time MPEG2 encoding isn't possible with software encoding capture
cards.

  I understand that to be a dated statement, such that one day it won't be true anymore.  Do you happen to know at what rate currently (video/realtime) an MPEG-2 software encoder can perform (and on what system)?  Does this only hold for high-quality encoding?

You'd be best to spend the $65 or so and get a PVR-150 (regular
or MCE edition) and capture straight to MPEG-2 using its hardware
encoder.

  I might look into that... but it's getting harder and harder to meet a "TiVO + 1 year subscription" price point.  I guess I just should have gotten a quieter front end, so I could keep it in my living room.
