Not a bad idea really as long as nothing else needs ram. I recorded 70mins worth of 1080i HDTV the other day and total size was about 3.5G. 4GB is about $35-$40 for DDR2-800 so it's not too expensive. I usually take advantage of mail-in-rebates so I've actually got a few 2x2GB kits here that I haven't paid more then $20 for each and all my boxes have at least 4GB in them already. Is it possible to resize the live buffer is another app needs more ram? _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
