What is your encoding method (rtjpeg, mpeg4, mpeg2)? Do you have good
reception on the channel that was recorded? I've you have marginal reception,
the random noise will prevent the compression algorithms from doing a very
good job. If the noise is real bad the file will for the most part be raw data
and 23G/hour would be about right depending on your resolution.

I recorded Smallville the other day (Krypto) and I was checking the
information screen on my box and noticed that I had almost run out of
room. It seems the culprit is Smallville with a file size of 23G for
the hour long episode.

I haven't watched the whole thing yet, as I just noticed it last
night, and I haven't deleted it yet because I may need the file to see
why it's so large.

Anyone have ideas off the top about this? I may have ran the transcode
on it (I'm still not clear what it does) but I'm not sure.

Thanks.
