Antebios,
In the XviDArchiving wiki page, you asked about video resolutions for HDTV. I have run the suggested "mplayer atscrecording.mpg -vf cropdetect" command and have some data for you - from a 1080i HDTV broadcast and from a 720p HDTV broadcast.
Code:
Playing /myth/tv/1202_20071118000000.mpg.
TS file format detected.
VIDEO MPEG2(pid=49) AUDIO A52(pid=53) NO SUBS (yet)! PROGRAM N. 1
VIDEO: MPEG2 1920x1080 (aspect 3) 29.970 fps 65000.0 kbps (8125.0 kbyte/s)

[VO_TDFXFB] This driver only supports the 3Dfx Banshee, Voodoo3 and Voodoo 5.
Opening video filter: [cropdetect]
==========================================================================
Opening video decoder: [mpegpes] MPEG 1/2 Video passthrough
VDec: vo config request - 1920 x 1080 (preferred colorspace: Mpeg PES)
Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale...
Opening video filter: [scale]
The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
Try appending the scale filter to your filter list,
e.g. -vf spp,scale instead of -vf spp.
VDecoder init failed :(

I suspect that your archiving script can be edited for these resolutions and put into one of the user job slots and used to transcode programs to HDTV h.264, in order to obtain smaller disk files?
