[QUOTE="Kyomii, post: 153676, member: 7328"] My media centre pc records the TV proggies in mpeg format so it is easily converted - but I have it set up to do that. Have you checked your settings? If you own an iBook, then investing in a Media PC would not really mean that you loose all things Mac because you will still have your iBook for everything else ;) On another note, have you considered getting an LCD TV (that can also act as computer monitor for when you get another monitorless mac LOL) and a standalone DVD recorder? Much cheaper solution and the standalone recorders work great for recording TV programs. Also, you would not have to mess with any software, Windows XP/conversion etc, and would have an extra monitor should you need it. :) By standalone DVD recorder, I mean something like [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00064AQQI/qid=1128304822/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_3_1/202-4529687-3911022"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00064AQQI/qid=1128304822/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_3_1/202-4529687-3911022[/url] and if you are in the USA you could probably get this cheaper too! Both should cost you around £500 dollars (if that). They are very easy to use, just like VHS really, just scart it up to the TV and tune in channels (takes 2 minutes) and then insert DVd and press record! It is as simple as that and already burned to DVD for you. You can also make one DVD disk stretch for 6 hours (if you wish) at the expense of a little loss of quality, but probably better quality than you would get via Media PC ;) [/QUOTE]
