I tried recording a TV show, this time with the software that comes with the Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1250 TV Tuner card instead of Media Center. A 1 hour show created a 2.7 GB mpg file. However, the Zune software does not recognize the file as a video. This means I am left with Media Center to record TV shows if I want to sync them up with my Zune 80.
I played around with the size, but I still have more to do. I wish you could save the 400 MB converted files without the space wasting originals from Media Center. I have an idea for that too.
I’ll keep you posted.
