Hi all,
I have a DCR TRV 320 digital camcorder & Video Factory 1.0. I am able to capture the video from the camcorder, but the problem I am facing is it is capturing in .avi format which taked 250 mb /minute. In this rate it is practically impossible to capture an hour of video.
My questions are:
1. Any advice on how to capture the video in a much reasonable format with our loosing the quality.
1. Any other advice related to space management w.r.t. the video capture, related documentation links are also appreciated.

Thanks in advance
- Raja Sekhar

Well, to be quite frank, nothing comes close to the quality of .avi.
If you're using DV capture, you'll need about 220MB per minute, so an
hour would require about 13GB. The idea solution is to get more hard
drive space. 40GB 7200RPM drives sell for about $100 these days.
