Me too; then I compress it using yuv2divx from mjpegtools (I convert my video
to YUVMPEG2 first). Results?
Uncompressed half hour Card Captor Sakura (leave me alone!):
2120744629 bytes (2 Gb)
Compressed DivX AVI:
131820808 bytes (126 Mb)
Time? Between 1.5x and 2x, it depends. With a 80 Gb hard drive, I can record
a daily show and compress weekends. A weekly show it's easy.
I record using streamer and the Quicktime JPEG output. I demux the video with
a home-made demuxer (but you can use Bcast2000), convert it to YUVMPEG2 using
a home-made converter (I use the libquicktime library; it's really easy to
use in simple stuff), and then I run yuvdenoise and yuv2divx.
The quality is amazing.
