I took a clip of video that was 1.5 gigs and increased it's speed to 400%. I trimmed off the annoying extra 3 copies (why does vegas do that). So, my scene was now 1/4 the duration of the original, but 4 times faster.

Then I hit 'render to new track' and the file that got created was 4.1 gigs. Does that make sense?

Should I have used the DV template? I though keeping the setting at 'project default' was the way to go.

Thanks.
