VDR estimates 25.75 Mb per minute to calculate remaining time from free space, thats 3600 mbit/s (video+audio). This works quite well for sat recordings, but may be wrong for other sources. Digital TV encoders for DVB transmission do a very good job carefully pre-processing and encoding to mpeg2, and fast software encoders and end-user hardware encoders cannot compete against that regarding quality per mbit, so they usually have noticeably higher bit rates. The value of 25.75 Mb per minute is hard-coded as MB_PER_MINUTE within menu.c. Cheers, Udo
