Ok, just got a macbook a month ago (2.0 Ghz, 2 GB of ram, first mac ever) and was wondering what programs are out there (preferably shareware/freeware apps) for converting mpegs to DIVX. I know handbrake does a nice job of ripping DVDs to divx and h.264, but my needs are different.
I built a Windows Media Center Edition based HTPC which I use as my DVR - it works great. I specifically record college football games, cut the commercials out with dvrmsToolbox, compress them to divx using Roxio's VideoWave, and upload the games to fans via bittorrent. This is what I used to do on my PC. I doubt there is a version of dvrmsToolbox for mac, but is there a simple app that will convert large (~10 GB) mpeg files to DIVX? I'd like to do as much of this work as possible on my mac without 1) Tying up resources on my HTPC, and 2) Boot Camp-ing my Macbook.

If you install divx, you can do all that in MPEG StreamClip (cut commercials, encode to divx, without intermediate recompression or excessive resource hogging). If you're talking about MPEG-2, you'll also need Apple's MPEG 2 Decoder ($20).
