[mythtv-users] can't record a full movie...

[and]

> 1. What is the EXACT size of the truncated file?
I had another look at the files. and realize the 1:20 wasn't the most 
scientific number, but I was just the latest recoding that failed. I've 
been traveling for a couple of weeks and the machine have been running 
quite well unattended, but I haven't had a look at most of the files it 
recorded, and the ones that where, I had already deleted in my 
fustration ....

The truncation point varies, one is 1.5gb, another 754 mb and yet 
another 1.4gb (so nowhere near the usual fat limit of 2gb...they should 
all have been 2.2gb for 2 hour shows. I'm running another 2 hour 
recording as I write this to see it also truncates...

I have plenty of other mythtv recordings that are larger than 2.2gb and 
they work... Haven't tried non myth files....

In my ignorance I was thinking that it could be something someone else 
had experienced and could recognize, and I just seemed to remember the 
number from some of the shows that I had deleted...
