I convert my kids stuff down into MP4 files. Video: H264 @ 1500k, Audio: AAC @ 160k. It's quite lossy but the kids don't care how pixelated Hi-5 is.<br><br>Roughly 800-900MB per hour - I've never gotten too scientific with exact sizes.<br>
<br>Shock horror - I actually use Handbrake on OSX for most of my transcoding. My wife's Macbook has more grunt than my pvr. It also comes in handy for doing stuff for my iPhone, PS3, etc without spending three hours on Google figuring out how.<br>

I'm happily recording programmes from Freeview over satellite, and<br>
ending up with reasonably large files, ~1GB for 35 minutes.<br>
<br>
Input #0, mpegts, from 'Children- The Backyardigans - 2009-05-21, 5-30<br>
PM - Untitled.mpg':<br>
Duration: 00:34:55.1, start: 87115.404422, bitrate: 3221 kb/s<br>
Program 1<br>
Stream #0.0[0x202]: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x576 [PAR 64:45<br>
DAR 16:9], 15000 kb/s, 25.00 tb(r)<br>
Stream #0.1[0x28c]: Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, 192 kb/s<br>
<br>
What would be a reasonable target to convert these to? I'm primarily<br>
interested in a smaller filesize, not really worried about audio or<br>
picture quality ...<br>
