You clearly have your priorities totally screwed up. Lemme
s'plain something:
This is a unique opportunity to get the full race on the
media of your choice, being cheap and trying to pack as many
stages as you can on a tape/disc is where you go wrong. Go
to your outlet for recording media and buy 1 tape for each
stage (or many more DVD-RW than it would exactly fit.) Put a
fresh tape or a disc with sufficient capacity in for each
day and start recording a few minutes before the show starts
and let it run. The reality is if the end gets cut off you
only have yourself to blame for cutting corners. You'll
never get that complete footage of the entire race on a 10
hour DVD set so take advantage of what you can get now.
(I wish they had the audio on OLNTV.COM but I couldn't find
it and Eurosport timed out on me. I'd love to record that,
some of the stuff that is said during breaks is priceless.)
