Ehm, just in case, MythTV is recording real-time, so this means you can't do 
all the compression tricks you can do when you have all the time in the world 
and spawn of a transcoding process.

Ever seen those 'high quality' and '4MV' options in the recording profiles? 
Ever switched it on and found out your machine can not cope? Those things are 
switched on when transcoding to a divx or something.

Morale: a slow computer can do the same thing as a a fast computer, as long as 
it can be given more time to do the task.
