depends, what format? what bitrate?

as a pvr-250 user I get 1 hour of video per 2 gigs of hard drive space. I
can transcode it down to a divx later but then it depends if I use a high
bitrate, low bitrate, take the time to do a 2 pass transcode, etc...

Pick a format, bitrate you find very acceptable, record a hour worth of
video and device your free hard drive space by it and there's your answer.

I always transcode to divx the items I want to keep, I leave my other
recordings as mpeg2 files as they will be deleted after I watch them.

Just a simple question and I'm sure its probably somewhere online, but I 
can't find it.  How much space does recording take?  For example how much 
video will an 80Gb hard drive store?

Thanks
