Capturing/File Size/Editing ?s
Hi all. Here is my issue:
I have my crummy ATI card working now, hooked into coax for cable TV. I have downloaded VirtualDub for recording. I also downloaded DivX. My goal is to record Seinfeld episodes. When I recorded my first Seinfeld Episode (30 min long) the file size is about 450megs. (I am recording straight to Divx (.avi) I think) When I download other Seinfeld episodes online they are all between 40 - 80 megs large. My questions are: 1. How do I get my 450 Meg .avi file down to the 40 - 80 meg size. 2. How can I remove the commercials? Thanks! VegasD |

You should better capture in MJPEG, cut the commercials frame-accurately in VDub, then encode using DivX4/MP3. With 2-pass and GordianKnot's Bitrate calculator you should get good results.
BTW: read Cart's capture guide. bb |
