You do need large files for decent video!

On a DVD-R you get two hours of good quality TV on a 4.7Gb disk - that works out at over 2Gb/hour. Three hour mode is watchable but once you down to 1Gb/hour it is very poor.

I've not tried PC TV capture myself, but I would guess the same holds true for most packages.
