I don't have an answer for you except to say that if this is the way the eps continue to tape, I dodn't think you'll have to give up re-watching the eps on your tv. I think if you invest in a good .avi to DVD file converter program and download the avis, convert them and then put them on a DVD, that should work. Then you can still watch and re-watch on TV, and I would think, use the eps for vidding.
