The best solution would be to reencode offline. Just record as usual and
run a script encoding to DivX with mencoder after recording and then
deleting the VDR-files (If I remind right there are commands what to do
before and after recording in VDR, so you could start your script after
a recording (and you can use 3-pass-encoding).
