I'm trying to re-encode 3.5 hours of MPEG2 video for burning onto a DVD (the
video needs cropped, resized, and cleaned up). I've tried TMPGENC Xpress but
it was going to take 54 hours! I was wondering if I could use the hardware
encoder on my WinTV PVR-250 to do the job instead. Is this an option, or is
the encoding hardware strongly tied to the PVR software?
Another related question... why aren't MPEG encoders available as Windows
codecs? If I install DivX, for instance, it can be used with most video
encoding tools. MPEG encoders, however, seem tied to one or two client
applications.
