Thank you

Assuming you mean uncompressed AVI? - about 12-13GB per hour.

Yep...you're right. In my warped brain transfered DV files mean "uncompressed".Originally Posted by Noahtuck

uncompressed RGB: ~112 GB/hr
uncompressed YUY2: ~75 GB/hr
uncompressed YV12: ~66 GB/hr
DV: ~13 GB/hr
What's on the DV tape is already DV compressed. All you want to do is transfer that data to the computer and wrap it in an AVI container. There is no benefit to converting it to an uncompressed format.
