    Why does the .avi file size differ so greatly?
    dvddcryptor to dvd2avi to vfapi to virtualdub = avi file 180 meg
    take that avi file with wav into premier, export to avi = 1,200 meg
    using ms mpeg4 2 codec each time.
    no quality difference.
    any help appreciated, if wrong forum please redirect me
    thanks

    Could be because of the wav audio. What type of audio is in the 1.2 GB file? If it's wav (lpcm) then that's why, because wav audio is uncompressed. Try some type of audio compression to make it smaller.
