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
I am pretty sure that I will encode at 640x480 but don't know about anyother 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 lookingat?This will affect the size of the hard disk I buy for the storage.
I doubt
I doubt that you can see the difference between a 720x480 pixel and a
480x480 pixel recording, so I would recommed go down to 480x480 pixels.
That saves 25% of the data.
If you want to export to DVD you might however consider 720x480 pixels and
keep the recordings in MPEG2.
Also if you want

Thanks for the insight. If I just keep it as MPEG2, what kind of file size
should I expect? I'm imagining about a gigabyte per hour. Is that high,
low, other?
I'm not sure of my settings, but with a PVR-250 (mpeg2) I'm recording

That really depends on your bitrate and how clean your signal is.
I get about 2.3 to 2.6 Gig an hour. If I lower it to only

When resizing, is it possible to accidentally stretch the image?
I saw someone say 480x480 wouldn't be a noticeable difference from
720x480... is the because of the way a TV uses scan lines? On a monitor
it seems like it would be very different.
I'm curious because I want to transcode HDTV

Others have done a good job of talking about higher end, so let me talk
about the lower end.
I have Dish network coming in through an anlog line, into my tuner, and
out to a 20 regular TV. So my source resolution is lowish, but my
line is very clean, and my output device isn't very picky. :)
