I want to store my DV movies in my computer but in a less demanding format. I am thinking about either DivX or Xvid. The maximum space it can take per hour is 2gb... i want it as a storage archvie and then when i need it put it back on DV tapes again

I tried Xvid with CBR and 3000kbits and was pretty happy yesterday. But i wonder if anywone know any better settings?
