MCE Movie Record

I'm rather new at MCE.  Tonight I recorded a Movie for the first try.  It recorded just fine.  Questions:  Where is the movie stored?  I've looked and failed to find it. 
 
How did this single tuner setup record a movie while I was watching TV on the Tuner?  Somehow I got the impression that I had to have two tuners to watch and record at the same time.  As far as I know I have one tuner, that's what I paid for and only have one Cable from Cable TV to the PC.
 
That proves I don't know what I thought I knew.  Would someone please clue me in on this.
 
Have MCE 2005 on a 8400.

    Your recording is most likely stored in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents" The TV tuner card in your computer is a "dual tuner card that is splitting the signal from your cable, thus being able to record and watch at the same time. I hope this answers some of your questions. Oh and by the way let me answer your next one for ya (lol) The file type is "DVR-MS, and when you try to copy it to DVD or edit it, get ready to do plenty of reading and I hope you are in need of coasters!!! But folks on the forum are real helpful and will do all they can for you. Have fun and good luck.

    Thanks for the info.  I did find the file in "Shared Folders."  Strange it would be there.  It's in a "WMP" format.  The file is 19.3GBs and I know that I cannot burn that to a DVD.  I'm assuming that I will need to use something to convert it to a format with compression to a recognized format for my burner to see.  Have a NEC 3450A.  Use CD Clone.  Don't have any idea where and how to start with the conversion.

    Technology is a challenge to anyone I suppose.  To the older generation like myself it's almost overwhelming.

    Thanks again for this information.
