I just got a HDD recorder, if anyone is experienced with these beasts and can provide some answers I would appreciate it.

HDMI: is this used in place of RCA cables and/or S-Video?

My understanding is that it is, and with one these one can record is lossless PCM audio.

If you use an HDMI cables you don't need the RCAs or the S-Cables?

Is there a way to limit the quality level of a recording, so that it would fit a DVD5?

Thanks in advance.
