Bad - un-transcoded recordings take more disk space, and its disk space
from your Recordings store.  I transcode mine to XviD then put the files
either onto CD/DVD or onto another NFS server.  Transcoding also removes
the ads, provided they are correctly marked.

I can't advise re lirc - never used it.
