Phill, if you are getting an 11GB file, that's before downsizing it and re-encoding it with DivX.

A "raw", uncompressed, full size AVI file will be in that order of magnitude.

As to how do people get a 2 hrs video down to 160meg:
If you read Fibrizio's guide which is pinned on the top of this forum, he suggests to use 128 sampling rate and decimate the frames (i.e. you get 15 FPS from 30 FPS or 12 FPS from 24).

Those two moves will give you the desired size.

As for quality, well, that's up to you to judge.

I personally prefer a 200-256 sampling rate and leaving it at the original FPS. A 2 hours video might just fit onto a 256 card this way...
