Studio 7 AVI encoding?

[duffkegs]

Wondering if anyone has played around with various AVI encoders in Studio 7. The different options for writing my file out (from DV source) include a Cinecraft Radius encoder, a DV Video Encoder, a couple from Intel, and more. They all generate different file sizes. If you select the box to enable all of the codecs found on the machine, you can choose from many codecs (in my case, ATI YUV12(?) and some others). These would write truly enormous files according to the preview (30 gig for a 20 minute project). Is this the ratio you'd see for "uncompressed AVI" that some folks talk about on the forum? I'm wondering if any of the AVI codecs in Studio 7 really stink compared to the others. I'm planning to use TMPGEnc to encode to MPEG2 for DVD-R.

You could use the Ligos Indeo Video 5.11. This is the latest indeo codec and can be downloaded from the Ligos site. Ligos has taken over management of the indeo codec (from Intel) I guess. This is the one recommended by the guy that wrote VirtualDub. Or you could use the latest version of the Indeo codec you have.
