Question Convert HD video = lousy framerate, am I doing something wrong?

I've been fooling around a bit with converting recordings to conserve disk space. I've found some settings that work well with SD material, but HD (OTA) is driving me nuts!

I'm trying to compress to MPEG4, maintaining the HD resolution (the particular show in question is 720p, I expect 1080i would be worse). I've found that if I choose one of the non-deinterlaced formats, I get evil interlace artifacts on playback. And if I compress to a deinterlaced format (either "good" or "high" quality), the playback framerate is awful - it looks like 1 or 2 FPS.

My computer isn't exactly state-of-the-art but isn't *that* bad - P4 3.0, 512 RAM, 7200RPM SATA HD, and an nVidia 6600 (not GT) video card.

Don't know what codec Sage uses to play back MPEG4 but I've got fairly recent versions of Divx and xvid installed.

Am I doing something wrong, or just attempting something that's impossible?
