yes, this is why i like ffmpeg. it already support writting to avi, asf, rm,
mpeg etc, and even streaming them over http if you want.
and it has some very good realtime encoder for various mpeg variants,
including realtime opendivx encoder (yes, worse quality then 'encore',
but it's for recording only, you can grab at higher bitrate (1600 kbit
is usually ok for vhs quality) and later you can recompress it).

yes, because xawtv doesn't use compression.

no. next step is encoding, third is watching tv and finally we can
add encoding from tv.
