Why? It's a standard, and it won't be changing anytime soon, if ever.
I spent most of my time tanscoding OTA broadcasts to the lower formats. I get about 3GB out of an 8-6GB program.

Just to get further clarity, do you mean converting ATSC to MPEG-2 Program Stream? ATSC broadcasts are already in MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) format. You shouldn't need to convert them if you want MPEG-2 output, unless you need program stream specifically.
Sorry...been away for a while.
MPEG2. NOT MPEG-TS.
Yes, I'm down-ing the resoultuion to 720p.
I'm not in the mood for xvid or divx. They are standards, but NOT on all standalone DVD players.
Just a quick/clean transcode to a DVD format that I can play on a standard DVD player, and burn an hour long 1080i ATSC broadcast on a SL DVD. Dual Layer media just isn't in my price range...yet, and I don't want to make expensive coasters!
I'm thinking about Blue Ray, but I do wish that HD-DVD would have survived.
It's old fashioned, but it should be archival quality, and playable anywhere.
