[mythtv-users] Size of firewire recordings

[Ryan Lavender]

Hi all,

I am just starting out with MythTV using firewire and a Comcast cable box.
My recordings seem to be really large, i.e. 2.2 GB for 7 minutes on an SD
channel. Is this normal for an MPEG-2 stream from a cable box? Is there any
way to transcode while recording to save space?

Thanks.
