[mythtv-users] Transcode makes files bigger

[Bill Smith]

Any idea why enabling transcode from rtjpeg to mpeg 4 would result in 
files 10x bigger than the original rtjpeg files? I recorded The Screen 
Savers and the 1 hour show is 25 GB after transcoding. I had this 
problem and disabled transcoding... but now I'm trying to figure out the 
issue as I'm only getting 40 hours on my 120 GB drive.

Thanks in advance,

-Bill
