For me playbackability with VDR is really needed. I like dvbcut more than vdrsync because with the linear/logarithmic sliders you can really easy find start and end of ads or similar. 20TB. That would be more than 5000 single layer DVDs. What a mess. HDs are much easier to handle. But i really dont want to have 13000 recordings! Have fun.
