My mythbox is acting funny :(...

I am in Australia, my system is Mandrake 10.1 (Community Edition), two TwinHan VP DVB-T cards, Sound Blaster audigy and my channels are tuned to Standard Definition TV (SDTV). MythTV is built from CVS.

When I did a recording in Myth, I noticed that the file is extremely huge - 70 mins of content took up around 35GB, that's like 500MB a second!

Using dvbstream, 1s of footage only takes 1mb.... where did the other 499Mb come from?

When I try to transcode (via mythtranscode), the nuv.tmp file will grow larger than the 35GB recording(My HDD only has around 73+GB free), fills up the entire volume, and deadlocks (printing "cannot write to buffer" or a similiar msg to the console)...

I didn't touch the recording profiles at all as the docs says "For DVB and HDTV cards, no further configuration is required after setting up the card using the 'setup' program."...

Anyways to reduce the size of my recordings?? Thanx.

Regards.
