My tv tuner has really bad encoding software included. I checked a guide and found virtualvcr and it's reccomended to encode the input in an uncompressed way and then compress it to divx or mpeg. I have Tmpegnc plus to compress the uncompressed file to mpeg2 but i don't have a big HD and i won't be getting one soon so...

Is there a good program that can compress in real time to mpeg2? (Freeware, please)

capture using a loseless codec. Try Loco or CorePNG for that. Capturing directly to loss codecs such as Xvid and DivX is a bad idea IMO.

You can, if the capture quality wasnt that crappy, using the right filters. Avisynth anyone?
