It can convert standard definition or high definition content to DivX format (both standard and high definition DivX)... so a highly compressed format that maintains high quality. These files can be loaded on the web or on portable players because of their small size. It also has a player to play the files and you can burn them to a CD/DVD and play them in standard set top DVD player (assuming it accepts the DivX format... many new ones do).
I use it for converting TV shows to small size DivX files for watching on my laptop when I am working away (spending almost every other week in Italy at the moment... I speak Italian but still good to hear some good old english TV).
