I'm guessing, if I read your post right, you've dug up the EyeTV raw 
video file from it's folder somewhere. It's a somewhat proprietary 
format that's not intended to be the final file.

Have you tried highlighting the recorded program from the EyeTV Program 
window and exporting it? You have your pick of a wide variety of 
formats to save it to, made even larger if you have the MPEG component 
as well as QT Pro. It's worked perfectly for me...
