I record to raw DV which takes 13 GB/hr of space when recording (with  
AlchemyTV), then encode the video to the iPod format - H.264.   
(MPEG-4 Part 10)  The file is much smaller using H.264 (approx 300 MB/ 
hr of content) and a two hour movie easily fits on a CD-R.

The quality is excellent - I play my recorded movies on our 60" big  
screen TV with my Mac mini and visitors can't tell the difference  
between the recordings and the broadcast-quality digital cable that  
it was recorded from.
