Laptop Saves video files as HUGE sizes!?!?

Hello,I recently bought a new laptop and I found that videos are huge sizes on it. A 5 second video clip will be 277MB and a 3 minute one will be 24.6GB!

It doesnt happen unless I record from my computer or if I render videos on my computer using sony vegas.

For example I could convert a video I got from youtube and it would be 30mb but as soon as I render it it goes up to 64GB (That did happen!) Im no good with all this techy stufff and I dont have a clue how to change it.
But this means I cant upload videos to youtube or anything. I know its something to do with my laptop because my old laptop didnt do that!

Computer info:
My laptop is a HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook PC
Pro cessor: AMD phenom(tm) II P960 Quad-Core
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6470M

p.s. sorry if this is in the wrong area on the forum

It sounds like you need to download the manual for whatever version of Sony's Vegas software you're using and find out how to set up video compression.
The manuals are here : Sony Creative Software - Download: Manuals

Never having used the software I can't walk you through it but this will set you on the right track and the Sony forum can answer any specific questions you have in depth : Sony Creative Software - Forums - Home
