Just wondering if an AVI File size calculator is out there. I have a bunch of VHS to capture via ADVC100 (720x480!! NTSC) and I need to manage disk space. The ADVC sends out DV. I would like to be able to see approximate file sizes in order to manage disk space.

thanks for any help I capture to WinDV, a nifty tool

To quote from this very good website on the DV format.

http://www.adamwilt.com/DV-FAQ-tech.html

"Once you add in audio, subcode (including timecode), Insert and Track Information (ITI), and error correction, the total data stream comes to about 29 Mbits/sec or 3.6 MBytes/sec."

So every hour of video uses 12.65Gb of HD space:)
