Q: Video capture - compression

Look this is really pissing me off. I have a capture card and am using Cyberlink Powerdirector and even on avi It's using 450mb for 30seconds of capture!!! That is f*cking ridiculous!!! I can download full movies that are 700mb in avi format. So why is it being such a f*cking c*nt. If I f*ck with the settings to get it to close to a reasonable file size the quality is f*cking shithouse. So can someone please f*cking help me because this is f*cking ridiculous and pissing me the f*ck off!!! Is there a better program to use, or another program that will shrink the file size to an equivalent of 90mins = 700mb as opposed to 1min = 90mb. PLEASE HELP. THIS C*NT OF A THING IS REALLY F*CKING PISSING ME OFF!!!

A: I'm guessing you tried the knowledge base already? http://funadvice.com/r/3jt26jsdlo B/c you didn't post the version of the softare you're using (eg, is it the latest one...?) I don't know which area of the knowledge base to look into. And yes, 1 minute of data isn't 90 mb...*unless* you're talking blu ray quality, in which case, instead of 5 gigs for 90 minutes like on a DVD, you're talking about 50 gigabytes...given about 90 minutes, that's 500 megabytes per minute, give or take. Regular dvd quality would only be about 50 mb per minute, roughly...so, you're not that far off...is it high def you're doing, or standard?

A: I actually hadn't checked the knowledge base... I didn't think of doing that, lol. I gave it a look though but couldn't find anything. I'm using PowerDirector 6. I just played with the settings again and using DVD SP MPEG-2 352 x 576 I got 10secs = 11.2mb, and using AVI LP 640 x 480 I got 10secs = 19.9mb I just can't work it out. I looked at a random movie(I've previously downloaded) and it is AVI 640 x 360 1:55:49 = 759mb. I just can't work it out, it is totally doing my head in. Also, sorry about my choice of adjectives and nouns, I was really upset when I wrote the question because I really wanted to capture/record a program on TV

A: Ah, thing is - smaller picture size is smaller file...which you also didn't include (nit picky, I know, but I was trying to help). Was the setting for the record today set to larger file size, eg, something that'd be TV quality on a 22 inch monitor? That's what I use to do my work, etc...so, a file the size you're talking about would lose resolution by a good mount if I maximized it on my screen. Of course, if you want it for a small portable computer, or iphone, or ipod, different story.

A: Ummm, I'm not too sure, I think it was 640 x 480, I just want it to display fairly well on a 17" laptop monitor or 52cm TV screen, I'm not worried about it being crystal clear or anything though, I won't be trying to display it on a 44" Plasma
