Hi Mike,
My problem is that I have a limited hardware, to be used as pvr and a
pc, and running just mythtv it is in swap and cpu idle ~5%. So I would
like to test mythtv without software encoder recording as raw format. I
know it will use more space at my HD, but I dont need more than 1 hour
of live tv.
Cheers,
Marcos Iuato
