Hi, I've been working recently with a few processes that catalogue live television into Jitter in a number of ways. I've also been recording these feeds and re-compositing them with scissors and glue. I was wondering how I can get smaller files when I record with jit.vcr, because my files are filling up my external drive very quickly, and when I try to use quite a few with scissors and glue, the lag gets pretty annoying. Here is my patch, though I'm not sure it's necessary:
