    I have an ATI AIW 7500. When I capture in avi format i got a 35 GIG file for 30 minutes of video captured from VHS tape. Why is the file so big? I thought I saw somewhere that I should get something like 13 GIG per hour of video. Is there some setting I need to change? Capturing in avi 720x480, using Video Studio 6 to capture. Any replys are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Your capturing to RAW uncompressed AVI, don't do that. Try Huffyuv, for 17 GB/hour or MJPEG for 9 GB/hour (varies with resolution for both).

    Do not capture uncompressed - use a compression codec to get files smaller. HuffYUV is a popular one.

    Is HuffYUV okay for XP?

    capturing in raw results in huge files, and have a huge impact on harddisk performance, most likely to result in dropped frames.
    I encode, therefore I am

    Yes, Huffy is OK with XP.
    May the force be with you.
