Since I'm recording long sequences in pal D2, I can't use the Huff codec, I'm using DIVX 5.02 with the settings at 100% it's getting me acceptable file size with a good quality the loss is not to big.
I've seen that a lot of people use MJPEG codec and I'd like to know the differences in terms of quality and size

BTW I use a ATI all in wonder ATHLON XP1.8 and ATA100 disks.

thanks

Well if you want to get even better quality you should use quant 2 in divx5.02.AFAIK quality mode is vbr in divx.That's if you don't care that much about the increase in file size.

Best way for capturing is recording to a lossless codec (huffyuv) or nearly lossless codec (MJPEG) and compress to divx5 or whatever you like afterwards. But the files get huge with huffyuv @ Full Pal or NTSC, with (i.g. PicVideo) MJPEG you can change the quality. You will get acceptable quality @18 or better 19, with smaller files. Recording directly to DivX (or something similar) lets you loose much of the quality and with your hardware it is no problem to use (nearly) lossless codecs...
