Xvid Encoding - With Capture Card

I have looked on search engines across the internet and can't seem to find any simple settings for using XVID, as a codec, in capturing video with a "video capture card.

Sure, I can create an XVID movie file, but I end up with several GB for a short movie.

All I want, is a simple standard setting for XVID that I can use to capture video from a digital cable box (same as satellite box), without using my entire hard drive to do it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried virtual dub mate.,I'm sure you can pretty much capture n choose any a/v codecs to be used :)

Yes, of course. Actually, I can use any video software that allows usage of codecs, such as XVID. It is the "XVID codec encoding settings" that I am interested in.
