Question in case somebody can help or at least explain.
Yesterday on a standard satellite channel (TVEi) I recorded about 2 hours and found 10 files x 2 gigs each recordings, thats about 20 gigs.
I know that on a dreambox the same 2 hours of recording takes no more than 5 gigs and the files are also .TS
So the question... why such a huge difference in size? Is VDR recording something in a TS stream that a dreambox is not? And is there something I can do about this? Some patch, plugin or script to compress/convert these huge files?
perhaps, the .TS file contains more than one video/audio transport stream?

A recording half an hour long from the German "3sat" channel takes up 1.3GB. Back when I made the switch from PES to TS recording I found that the difference in sice was negligible.
