Yes, it enables the Tivo to record in VBR mode instead of CBR mode...
AFAIK, it doesn't change the audio recording in any way; just the
video - but don't quote me on that, for IANATCE. {I Am Not A Tivo
Company Engineer ;-) }

My 1 hour high-quality tivo streams usually consume 1.6G - 1.65G of
space, give or take .05G.

But what if you have the right amount of audio, but too little video,
from the 'saved space' VBR setting? [I'm sure I worded that wrong...
but it'll take me longer to fix it than it will for y'all to laugh at
me... ;-) ]

Would that make it look like you have "too much audio?" Just throwing
out possibilities... Can't hurt to try a few shows with the VBR
turned off, and see what happens.

HTH,
