What's the difference?

What's the difference between recording as MPEG-2 PS or DVD Stadard Play. The Mpeg2 ps takes up 5.9gb p/hr...Is it worth it?

Thanks

By MPEG-2 PS you mean "MPEG2 Max Quality"? The only big difference is the bitrate. DVD qualities are just DVD compliant, the other ones may not be.

As for if it's worth it, only you can answer that. I've found that with a good source 2GB/hr is usually sufficient, if you've got a rather noisy source you've probably got to bump that to closer to 3GB/hr.

Thanks for the reply. I tried recording 2 football games in that mode at the same time and when I went ot watch them from the progrma guide while they were still recording, I got an error -17...network failure. Why would this happen?

Not sure, don't recall seeing that error before. Might be worth an email to support.
