Just installed the software and captured my first clip from VHS. One minute of video is over 200 meagbytes in size. Is that normal? A two-hour video would be about 14 gigabytes or 4 DVDs. Does that sound about right?
Edit: OK, I switched the "Capture Setting" to DVD SP and now 1:00 of video is 30.3 MB. That's about what I was expecting originally.

I capture a 1 hr 20 min VHS as DV AVI 720 X 480, it is 21.2 GB...When encoded back to DVD Video mpeg 2 it will fit on a Dual Layer 8.5 DVD..

You just changed your setting to lousy video. If you capture as DV-.avi/.avi, it is your best quality, and 1 hour of video is about 12GB. File size means nothing when you are referring to video. Time does.
You can get 1 hour of video, at best quality, on a standard DVD.
Life is good!

Interesting...that's a foreign concept to me. File size seems like it would mean everything but I'm sure you know what you're talking about. I just got the software today and am looking forward to putting many, many, Jordan-era Chigao Bulls games on DVD.
I also have the first two hours of "breaking news" from CNN and Fox News on 9/11/01 that I want to put on DVD.

You better get some DL discs, then. For 2 hour videos, you will need them.
