Export AVI not enough room on Drive

[mallen]

I have captured a 1 hour VHS tape to my hard drive. There is nothing on it except this file that is about 3 GB. I have a 80GB drive. I am using Sonic MyDVD and Showbiz to capture the file. Then I save it as a AVI with a Huffy codec. Then I bring it into Premiere 6.5 to edit it. Then I export the whole thing as a AVI and my computer says I don't have enough room and to delete some files. How can this be?

I was also having trouble saving the entire movie with Showbiz/MyDVD it would get to about 60% and freeze up. So I just saved it in two parts. Does anyone have any ideas why I am running out of room?

Try changing the codec in Premiere. Files with the Huffuy codec end up being huge.

I do not know what you want to do with the file but I you want to put it on DVD you may as well encode it to MPEG-2 with the Mainconcept encoder.

That was the only codec i had good results with. I was having audio sync problems and video quality problems. I think my other problem is my card (videoh PCI) captures in PCM? only. I read that this takes up alot of space for audio.

1 hour of PCM takes roughly around 1 gig.

Sounds like your virtual drive space is too big.

** Log on to the computer as Administrator.
** Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
** Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
** Click the Advanced tab, and then under Performance, click Settings.
** Click the Advanced tab, and then under Virtual memory, click Change.

In the Drive [Volume Label] list, click a drive on which Windows is installed (Windows is usually installed on the drive C).

Click Custom size, and then change min to 0 and max to twice your memory size. Click set and exit.

Also clear your prefetch folder
Open C(system drive):/windows/prefetch, delete every file & reboot.
