Remember what I said a few days ago about non encoded videos taking a lot of space ? 

There is at least 1GB in OS RAM for the video, I think

Why on Earth would video encoding 7-15 mins of video take up that much space? The last TiVo box only had 512MB of RAM and that records more than 1 stream of video for a lot longer than 15 minutes.

It's only encoding in MPEG-2 (Encoder: Trident SAA7164 MPEG-2 encoder).
