    I have tried sending my DV from my camcorder to my PC. I usually have no problems, but I need some advice.

    The files are absolutley HUGE. A 30 second clip takes up between 150-250 MBs... No matter what format I convert the file into.

    I would love to be able to take my home video, and save it to VCD. All VCDs I have hold about 30-40 minutes of semi high quality video, and would like to do the same with my camera.

    Any hints on what I am doing wrong, or a program that will compress this better?

    (I think I'm using Ulead and have tried a few others)

    VCDs have exactly 74 (or 80 depending on the disk) minutes of video and use MPEG-1 format. DV video has its own format and uses constant bit rate at 3.515 mb/sec, this is why your files so big.

    Read 'How to' on the right. It contains answers to all your questions and instructions how to build VCDs.
