My 2 hour recording clocked in at a 12 gig .ts file... is there any way to record it at smaller file size?

It depends where it comes from. If it's an analog or HDPVR/Colossus recording, then you can lower the bitrate. If it's a digital recording, you get whatever bitrate the broadcaster uses.

It's a digital recording... so doing an on the fly transcoding would be the only way to reduce file size?

Pretty much the only way you'd be able to reduce it is by transcoding the file in PostProcessing.bat then deleting the original. You cant do it on the fly.

You could of course transcode after the recording completes using the techniques discussed in this thread:

The method I use yields a 90% reduction in size. And the EDL file will still work.
