I found the instructions HERE


Went and bought a firewire 6pin to 6pin and had it working in about 30mins.



It records so easy, and the quality is outstanding, the problem is that it records 2.5mbps. Roughly 1gig per 6.66 minutes.

10 gig = 66.66 minutes. So about 20gig per regular movie.




What I'm trying to figure out is why its so big, I know the sound quality has alot to do with it, and trust me, the quality is there, but is it really making the file that big?

Anyone done this before and figure out how to compress the file w/o losing image quality?

BTW I'm uisng VLC to view the files as I'm recording it all as .ts.


I figured someone here had tried it.

 
hmm...i can't really give good input but from what i have seen tv rips that are hdtv are smaller than regular, vcd counterparts (1 hour show ~350mb as opposed to 400)
