The conversion to DVD and SVCD is IMHO a rather simple rearranging of frames. 
There should be no video or audio resampling needed. So it should be possible 
to do most of the necessary DVD or SVCD conversion on the fly during 
recording. I don't know what is needed for SVCD, but for DVDs some simple 
post processing will be needed to fix up the inlined PCI and DSI packets, the 
.ifo also needs to be build during the fix-up process.
