Hi all, I'm curious how the Hopper transfer process works when copying DVR files to a device, and what happens to disc space when the transfer is finished. The Hopper transcodes a recorded show to temp space on the disc drive and copies that file to the device on demand, is that right? What happens to the temp files created? They seem to hang around on the drive. Do they get cleaned up? Can I manually force a cleanup? One more question, does the transcoding process know what screen size to convert to for a given device? Does it use some fixed size?

Thank you,
Alan
