Hardware conversion from DVD/MPEG2 to SVCD?
Anyone know if it is possible to take advantage of the Hauppauge cards native hardware encoding of SCVDs to convert our Sage TV recordings from 3.2GB/hr to SVCD quality? It would seem that since the 350 can decode the stream, there should be some way to feed it back to its encoder - just set for a different format. any ideas?

Nope, the encoder is external input only.
Why would you want to convert to VCD anyway? That's a pretty big drop in quality, you can get a similar, if not bigger drop in filesize going to MPEG-4 or WMV without the quality loss.

need to move a season of recordings off my machine in a DVD playable format. Dont want to use DVD Quality as that would be roughly 2 shows per DVD and theres 28 shows.
Dvix is better than SVCD in this case for SDTV recordings?

DivX, or especially WM9 or H.264 is MUCH better than SVCD. You can probably get better than SVCD quality at about 250MB/hr. But depending on your DVD player (I assume you're talking set top DVD player), they may/probably won't play either.
