    I am using vdub to capture

    problem is I only have a limited amount of disk space around 20gig free or so

    I am trying to record a 1 hour movie from VHS but end up with a file that is huge (18+ gig) I need alitle space left to encode in etc
    I have tried huffy and PICvideo but still end up with 20 gig of file
    my system can not handle real tiem divX or else i'd use it

    Yes I know I need to badly upgrade to atleast a 2g system but right now I Cant afford it at this time but I know my problems will likey be soled when i do
    but until then what can I do? anyone?

    Try adjusting your picvideo's quality setting to around 12-14... the lower number used, the greater compression/smaller file size....you will lose a tad of viewing quality, but it may do you until the new rig is obtained.
    Always check helpfiles/instructions before leaping...

    You shouldn't exceed 20gb with the PicVideo MJPEG codec even with a higher setting.
    Before my Canopus ADVC-100 came along I was using setting 19 and I'm sure it didn't exceed 20gb/hr.

    tgpo, my real dad, told me to make a maximum of 5,806 posts on vcdhelp.com in one lifetime. So I have.
