Space requirements for Prepare DVD

Prepare DVD requires a substantial amount of free space for it's conversion and image creation 
processes. You will need approximately 3.5 times the size of your recording as free space. A 2 
hour HD recording will usually have about 7-8 segments of 2 GB each. A 2 hour SD recording 
will usually have about 1-2 segments of 2 GB each. If your free space is limited make sure you 
do not have any recordings going or timers set to record.

HD Recordings & Prepare DVD

Converting HD recordings requires a fair amount time and CPU power. The less CPU 
dedicated to other tasks the quicker the conversion process will be. 
Ways of freeing up CPU for Roaster
   While in your user profile the Satellite TV application is always running. This means if you 
are tuned to an HD channel you are dedicating a significant amount of your CPU to the 
Satellite TV application even if you aren't watching it. When at all possible keep the Satellite 
TV application tuned to an SD channel and do not record TV shows while Roaster is active.
   The absolute quickest way to convert HD recordings is to start the Prepare DVD process then 
log out of the user profile. This will completely free up the CPU for Roaster. Users may find 
this the most preferred and time saving method for overnight processing.

Other Notes of Interest

●

Roaster is designed to perform only one job at a time.

●

HD recordings take about an hour per gig. Longer while other applications are running.

●

Since Roaster jobs are background processes, meaning they run in the background and 
do not stop when a profile is exited, the job itself will continue even when a different 
user is logged in. These specific video files of another user are not accessible by other 
users, but since the Roaster job is running they will be able to view the job progress and 
Roaster will not be free to use. If you do not think a user is responsible enough to 
operate Roaster then remove that application from their application list.
