Disk usage
The actual disk space used primarily depends on the
quality settings for recording. A higher quality setting,
e.g., DVD-quality, requires significantly more disk space
than a lower quality setting, such as VCD-quality. The
appropriate quality depends on the quality of the source
material, e.g., DV camera versus broadcast TV, and your
intended use of the recorded programming.
