i'm buying some of the parts I will need for the MythTV box in the next few
days. Our rig will use a primary hard disk for actually running the OS on
and a secondary hard disk that will be exclusively for storing data
on. Since the main purpose of our machine is for recording / encoding
video for playback *only* on our TV, what are some good encoding settings?
I am pretty sure that I will encode at 640x480 but don't know about any
other settings or how they will affect file size. For a normal 1-hour show
(most of our favorites are this long), what kind of file sizes am I looking
at? This will affect the size of the hard disk I buy for the storage.
I'm not expecting folks to just hand out information here, but a good site
for tutorials on this topic where I can research it myself would be greatly
appreciated since I know little about how MythTV encodes and the official
How-To was a bit slim on this topic.
thanks!
