Conversion mpg files into avi files

[eymajai]

Using Virtual Dub V.1.5.9, I have converted an mpg file of 799.713 KB to avi format and I am surprised by the fact that the extension of the new file is 46,6 GB.

What can I do to obtain an avi file of about 800 KB?

You need to use a good compression codec like xvid or divx. uncompressed avi is why you file is so large

Thank you echooff for your reply. May be I converted my file with the system Direct stream copy.
