Hazarrd 1 #1 February 3, 2004 So I am capturing some video with Vegas and I cant seem to get the data rate below 3.45MB/second which is entirely way too large. How do I decrease the quality to make the files smaller? I cant seem to find it anywhere. Thanks! .-. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 February 3, 2004 If you are capturing, you are probally recording raw DV at closer to 200 meg a minute. Thats the requirement to work with DV. Once you capture all the DV you can edit it and cut bits and pieces to save some hard drive space. Other wise for every 5 minutes raw footage you can expect to need a gig of free drive space just for the unedited video.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
