Freevo rel-1 in svn has the encoder server, which I'm still working on, which will encode DVDs and MPEGs to divx/avi files. I would prefer it to use mkv and ogg audio as the compression is that mush better. The 250 doesn't has a mpeg decoder, it's the 350 that has one, all the ivtv cards have an mpeg encoder. I think the main differences is the chipset that are used between the 150 and the 250. BTW I quite like the 500MCE.
