After reading that, I have to re-encode at some point. Seems kind of pointless with the EyeTV software having an export function to DVDSP or iDVD when the video is correct anyway.

I wonder if something like FootTrack would be useful .. I'm not sure how the two would interface, but FootTrack is like iPhoto for video - it allows you to keep your video on your HD, or send it off to cd/DVD at 3mb a minute, as opposed to DV's 3.5 mb a second. It certainly looks interesting..
