I recorded a two-hour movie off telivision this evening. I watched it and it looks fine, but the file size is really big: 4.3GB. Is this normal? As I said, the file was recorded by mythtv; it has a .nuv extension. I didn't recognize that extension, so I looked at its properties in nautilus. Properties claims that it's an MPEG video file, but that seems rather large for a two-hour mpeg. I used to download two-hour movies off of gtk-gnutella that were around 650MB. Is there anything I can do to get the file size down so that it can fit on a CD? My wife's birthday is a week from today, and although I bought the movie on DVD for her (and actually have it hidden in the bedroom ATM), she doesn't know that and she would like it backed up to CD, but 4.3GB won't fit on a CD. Any hints?
