2.Video Compression will adjust the video codec and quality settings for the video you will record to your hard drive.

EvolutionTV features a built-in hardware encoding chip with support for several formats:

DVD-Compliant MPEG-2:	This format enables you to record in full size MPEG-2 thus delivering
	a video file readable by all DVD players. Full size PAL is 720x576, full
	size NTSC is 720x480
DVD-Compliant MPEG-2
Half-size:	This format enables you to record in half-size MPEG-2 thus
	delivering a video file readable by all DVD players. The video quality
	will obviously be lower than with full size MPEG-2
DivX Certified Home:	EvolutionTV is the only Mac video capture device to feature fully
	DivX compliant hardware encoding. DivX is similar to MPEG-4 and
	delivers great picture quality combined with small file sizes. Many
	DVD players have DivX decoding capability, letting you read your
	DivX files without any additional conversion.
	The video size is 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC)
DivX Certified Portable:	EvolutionTV lets you create video files compatible with the DivX
	Portable profile. The main difference with DivX Home is the screen
	size set to 352x288. This option is useful if you wish to capture
	content for playback on portable devices (Palm, PocketPC, etc...) or
	want to reduce the file size of your videos to the minimum allowed.
MPEG-4:	EvolutionTV can generate MPEG-4 ISO Compliant files. This means
	you can capture video in full quality, while maintaining a very low file
	size.
	As the MPEG-4 file created by EvolutionTV is ISO compliant, it is
	readable by most if not all video players, without any software
	extension.
	MPEG-4 is the preferred video codec for internet broadcasting.
MPEG-4 (iMovie HD):	This option will generate a MPEG-4 file directly readable by
	iMovie HD. No lengthy conversion will be required when opening
	the file in iMovie HD.
	The size for the iMovie HD option is 640x480
