My MPEG recordings are about 3 gigs per hour. I convert them to WMV
format, and they go down to 300 megs per hour, with nearly the same
quality.
A file is a file; copying from one medium to another won't change the
contents of the file, unless it gets corrupted somehow.
You may have trouble viewing until you copy back to the hard drive,
though, due to bandwidth problems. Converting the file while on the
removable media should work just fine.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
