Wow. 363% increase in file size. I could add two more disks and use
RAID-5 to bump my disk array 300%,
but I'd still be losing a good bit of capacity. I wonder when/if
hardware mpeg-4 encoder cards for HDTV will
be available?
Do those formats burn directly to DVD like the mpeg-2 from the IVTV
cards? Or do they need to be
transcoded down in resolution/bitrate/whatever before they're burned?
have a RAID 5 (using mdadm) with 3 300gig drives giving me 600gigs, cost $360 for the drives (120 each). Gives me a lot of recording time, especially after I cut the commercials out.
As for DVD you will need to transcode HDTV to the resolution and bitrate compatible with DVD mpeg2.
