  AVI 13GB/Hr. What’s MPEG-2?

  Posted by Allen Zagel on February 17, 2007 at 4:26 pm

  Quickie question. Trying to figure recording time of Standard DVD MPEG-2. I’m recording off TV to my laptop onto an 80GB external HD. The recorder has a hardware MPEG-1/2 encoder so my recording is MPEG-2 for putting on DVD.

  I thought I read somewhere that MPEG-2 was about 9.x gb/hr. Am I in the ball park?
  thanks

  It’s not fixed. It depends on the bit rate.

  I thought so. Thanks Gary.

  Anyway it all fit. 4h 30m on an 80gb HD. Didn’t take up much room at all.

  Never worked with a hardware MPEG encoder before. It’s from my new PVR connected to my laptop for recording video from TV and my satellite dish.

  I recorded the Chinese New Year Special on CCTV 4 (China TV) off our Chinese satellite this morning. That’s probably going to be 3 DVD’s 😉
