To : Mr 1024kbps

I am having difficulties with .wtv from Windows Media Centre!
Doing tv recording and .wtv is so unfriendly + its HUGE! (running out of disk space...)

Any way to make it smaller without loosing much quality? (only recording at 720p)
How on earth people BlueRay-rip into .mkv so small and still retain high res high quality? (1080p)



Sorry if my questions are repetition in threads.
Thanks in advance to all for help!
