Well, it is normal that the AVI is huge. DV uses a data rate of 3.6 MB/s. You will always create the huge AVI file first, and then use a good encoder to convert it to MPEG-2 format.

The final AVI will also be big (the AVI with all the effects in it). What you can do is to capture in preview quality to edit the video, and when Studio outputs the final avi the scenes get captured again, but this time in full quality. That way the captured avi won't be as huge.
