The point is that for MOST recording methods, Myth can't known in advance whether a recording will fit in a given location. Only PVR-x50 recordings seem to have predictable file size - DVB, ATSC, RTJPEG etc do not. Perhaps you can choose the one with the most empty space and hope for the best though...
