[V4L] A question of bps for various capture types

I was wondering what real world numbers people might have
related to how much disk space is required per unit time
for various capture formats and quality.

I'm also interested in what people consider adequate quality
for various formats.


For example:

Being in an NTSC nation I think in terms of

320x240, 640x480  (sometimes I consider 352x240 and 360x480).

What real world data rates to people get capturing
'The Opray Winfree Show' in MJPEG with various qualities and resolutions?

Or what about an action film with lots of movement like one
of the vehicle chase scenes from the movie 'Terminator'?

How does MJPEG from say the DC10+ compare size and quality wise with the
output from MP1E?

Has anyone noticed any lowering of quality when capturing from
an already digitized source such as a DISH Network satelite?
(was MPEG 2 encoded over the satelite feed)

I'm familiar with the strategies used by VideoCD, CDI, SVCD, and DVD.

I'm just interested in what people are finding acceptable with
the tools available in the Linux world.

I'd particularly be interested in info from people who have actually
captured whole programs and watched them.

Thanks,
