Record TV

Dear all,

I really tried hart, but could not find a good solution in Linux to 
record TV/videos from my BT878 TV Card. The main issue is, which codec 
and record tool to use.

So far my studies had following results:
Record Tools:
- broadcast 2000
- ffmpeg
- dvr (does not compile propperly under suse 7.3: format.h missing - 
Anybody any hints ?)
- mjpeg tools -  use lavrec to record. But there is no clear 
documentation, whether bttv based TV cards are already supported.

Codecs:
- Divx 4/5
- MPEG 2
- MJPEG

Some of my questions are:
- Does anybody have found good solution to record directly to MPEG2 or 
Divx ? If so, which software does the job ?
- Has anybody experience with the mjpeg tools, and whether they can be 
used with bt878 TV Cards?
- is there a tool, which can be used to record directly into divx, or is 
divx kept in a Quicktime wrapper?
- Can broadcast 2000 record in divx somehow ?

Any hints or comments and ideas are appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your help,

best regards
Christian Kuecherer
