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. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Metcalf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 10:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Freevo-users] Hard Drive Space 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?
