I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that using Virtual Dub you can encode directly to DivX/MPEG4. The bad news is your system is very likely not fast enough to handle a mpeg4 stream in real time at any decent resoultion. I'm running a 1.3GHz system with 7200RPM HDs and an ATI AIW video/capture card. My system cannot handle high resolutions in real time so first I encode to MPEG2 and convert to MPEG4 offline. If your capture card and hd can use mjpg you might want to record to mjpg first and convert to mpeg4 second. Check out <A HREF="http
