    I captured some footage into Movie Maker, then cropped with VirtualDub. It came out as a 36-37 GB avi file.

    I needed to crop/resize in VirtualDub. When I select to Save As Avi..., I end up running out of hard drive space. Why? The video is now 122 GB.

    How can I keep this down?

    You are saving as uncompressed avi and that is huuuuge. Select a compression under Video->Compression, for example panasonic dv codec or lagarith or huffyuv or more compressed format like divx or xvid.

    Any way to tell what size the file will end up?

    Panasonic DV codec is DV-AVI which is 13 gigs per hour. this should be the same format you captured in teh first place.
