hi! just bought and installed PixelView PlayTV Pro tuner & capture card. it comes with a bundle software like VideoStudio4, InterVideo Win DVR. the problem is why if i capture in AVI, it takes a lot of space in my HD. just like capturing 45 mins of analog source = 19.5 GB space. can anyone suggest me if there's another option besides AVI or should i install another software to directly convert it into MPEG files.

one more thing my VHS player (SHARP) is not compatible with WinDVR. when previewing on WinDVR its not showing full screen. but when i try to put my VCD and DVD player it shows full screen. pls advice which model of VHS should i buy so i can capture in WinDVR. thanks.
