capturing minidv is generally not raw/uncompressed avi... its DVAVI type1 or type2. for nice results you might want to try the following..

capture to dvavi, make your edits and export as dvavi 720x480, keep it interlaced

encode the dvavi to xvid, unconstrained (let it use as much kbps as it likes) use a deinterlace filter and resize to 640x480. youll have a nice high quality file for storage thats easy to split without reencoding.

batch to flv. use 2 pass encoding for best results. 640x480 at 1500kbps is nice =] a 320x240 at lower kbps for the pokey bastards.

im crashing now but feel free to hit me up for any help
