A basic calculation of required disk space is already done by the script that does the actual data processing; currently it doesn't do more than just print a warning. To actually get that estimate right needs to take more into account than is currently done - size of the menus generated (depends mostly on #of titles and on animated menus on or off) - amount of stuff removed by commercial cutting. ProjectX is mainly a demultiplexer with cutting capabilities thrown in. So workflow would be 1) demux/cut using projectx 2) recode the seperated video and/or audio streams using something else (tcrequant?, ffmpeg?) 3) remux with empty vobus thrown in, I'll probably stick with mplex. I don't want to skip the projectx demux step even though there are products taht wold let me do cut+recode in one step: This step is where cleanup of mpeg problems and audio sync issues happens; running avidemux2 on the raw recordings got me quite a few problems with sync and bad files. Possibly even wors with PVRxx recordings. > ...the web for calculating the bitrate to make them fit on one disk, but > I'm not sure if ProjectX can be used to reduce the bitrate or > if it will take another step somewhere. Shouldn't be too hard, I'll just have to experiment a bit to see which process gives reasonable results and where to draw the line on what the limits of compression/reencoding are. Bye, Martin
