Yes, 25Mbps compared with about 9Mbps, but you can archive the .ts file
onto a DVD. At 13GB for a DV tape and about 8GB for a dual layer DVD,
you could fit about 40 minutes worth on there.

Of course if you actually wanted to play the DVD then you'd need to
convert from DV to mpg2 and you'd lose quality.
