    I am new to here so please be patient.

    I recently got a Panasonic NV-GS75. So I got it organised and took 40 minutes of video footage on it. When I downloaded this to my PC using the bundled 'MotionDV Studio LE for DV' it came out as a whopping 8.41 Gigs!! Now this seems an awful big .avi file for 40 minutes of tape, (isn't it?).

    Have I done something wrong, because when I go to convert this to a VOB format (I use DVDSanta)? I am sure thats going to increase the size further. A normal movie of 2 HOURS can fit on a DVD.

    I thought I could shoot 2 hours of footage and then convert to VOB and burn a disk.
