Doug and I (mostly Doug since my equipment's at his house) are working on converting chunks of the JAC tape library to DivX, particularly series that haven't been checked out in living memory, so as to make everything more easily portable. (Yawara was #1 on the list; there are several others up for conversion too. Hopefully this way we can fit the tape library into those two long boxes rather than "two big boxes and several random shoeboxes".)

If people specifically want to check out the tape format of something that's been converted, they'll still be available; we'll just need a week's notice to get them out of storage and bring them along for you.

Anyway, this brings me to my question for the DivX wizards out there:

I've got a little box that lets you capture VHS output at different rates and store it either as MPEG-1 or as MPEG-2 at different capture values. Doug's been capturing to MPEG-2 at 4 meg per second, then converting to DivX with VirtualDub. But he's discovered that a 30-minute episode ends up as 400 meg when converted to DivX that way.

I know there are ways to get things more compressed so that you can fit 3-4 episodes per CD. I just don't know what they are.

Meng? Daniel? Katy? Help...?
