Rendering of AVI-format occupied my hole hard disk

I was rendering my AVI-video of 45 min. in AVI-format (file) to my hard disk and the rendering occupied the hole hard disk (80 Gb). I got error because of my hard disk became full. I wonder why?

Because you rendered to an uncompressed format.
Choose something other than the Default rendering template.

Uncompressed AVI takes up about 2.33 Gb for every minute of video!
DV-AVI, on the other hand uses only about 1/12th the space.

And ... if you are going to continue editing video .. you'll soon find you need a much larger hard disk.

Make that second disk where you store all your video files .. but keep the Vegas program itself on your C drive.

Right. Between the twin desktops in my editing suite i've got about 3TB of drive space, and i'm feeling very cramped. I'll probably up that to about 8TB soon.

Many thanks! Certainly I have much bigger hard disk too.
