Hello,
I have read some good posts on video capture cards and I was wondering more about which format to capture the format in. I have a Leadtek TV2000XP Deluxe, and there are several formats available, like MPEG 1 and 2, DivX, Windows Media, uncompressed AVI, etc. I tried recording stuff and the files are monstorus( in the multi-gigabyte range)! Which format takes up the least space? Or can you compress them later to fit on a CD? Any video advice would be welcome. Thanks!
