Ok, so I've captured and edited the video off of a miniDV and rendered it to a full quality AVI in Pinnacle Studio8. That leaves me with a 6.79 GB file for a 32min, 37sec video. My 250 gig HD is starting to fill-up fast.
At 6.79 GB its obviously to big to burn to a DVD as a raw AVI file so what are my options for archiving files this big without reducing the quality in anyway? Oh yeah and how is Pinnacle able to actually author this same file to a DVD without any problem? Is it reducing the quality of the original raw AVI file when it authors it as a DVD?
