EyeTV 200 Question

[evilinsanity]

I am wondering how much hard disk space an hour of video actually takes up when recorded with the EyeTV 200. Elgato says 2GB/hour but I want to know if that's true, and if not what is roughly the actual amount.

Thanks.

Depends at which compression you use. Highest DVD quality can take up to 2.7 gigs and hour, while MPEG-4 Best takes only about 1.5gig and hour. I record at MPEG-4 Best to save space but best quality. See pictures that are attached.
