Vidomi (freeware): Converts MPG recordings of the DVBViewer to the space-saving DivX format. You can also cut the videos (only selected areas of the source file converted). Additionally you will need a DivX codec; it operates optimally with the DivX 3.11a-Codec, but there are issues with DivX 5.0x.

DVD2SVCD (German) is a collection of programs which are combined under one GUI to convert of DVD to the S-VCD format (super video CD). You can also use it with PVA-recording of the DVBViewer. The program is somewhat difficult to use without proper experience, since you must download different programs first and many adjustments must be made. Special thanks go to Steffen Klausing who wrote a very good manual which describes the procedure thoroughly on a step-by-step basis with numerous illustrations.
