No labor at all - the computer's doing all the hard work :-)
I presume you're thinking of either the Hauppauge 250 or the 350
(the 350 has a MPEG-2 decoder while the 250 does not). Since I have
no recent experience with the Hauppauge products (not since the WinTV
era) I can't say how good the quality of encoding compares to that of
mpeg2enc. I do suspect that mpeg2enc will give higher quality
because it offers more places to adjust the encoding parameters (use
alternate quantization matrices, perform single coefficient elimination,
specify if B frames (and how many) should be used or not, set the
4x4 and 2x2 searching parameters, alter the HF quantization, and so on).
Then there's being able to process the data thru the wide range of
filters available.
Sure it's slower - but as the sign at the restaurant said:
"Good cooking takes time. If you are made to wait it is so
that we may serve you better".
Have fun!
Cheers,
