As the name suggests, I'm looking at new codecs to get better quality and lower filesize for my games. Right now I'm using VirtualDub MPEG-2 to convert the recorded TV to divx, but I'm not sure what the most optimized settings are. I'd like to get the file sizes down to 1.5 GB or less, but with improved quality. I'm guessing if I do multiple passes that might help.
If you use Windows Media Center Edition PC's to record games or TV shows, check out DVRMSToolbox. Its semi-script based but its really easy to pick up. It can cut out commercials from your recorded shows and convert the files to wmv or mpeg. Really handy, especially if you have it automated so as soon as a show is recorded it cuts out the commercials - not bad.
