[mythtv-users] Size of firewire recordings

[Ryan Lavender]

I am in the Atlanta area. Do you know about how many null packets you were
seeing? Even with a raw feed taken from the box using test-mpeg2, I am
seeing only about 14% of the packets with the video PID (fewer for the
audio).

I would be interested to see the scripts if you have them.
