Saving a Movie

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

This is really an impossible question to answer with the amount of
information that you have provided.

If you're saving in DV-AVI format you can expect the final file to be in the
30Gb size range. However you do not tell us the specs of your PC, the speed
of your CPU, the amount of RAM, the speed of the hard drives and what other
processes are running in the background.

Leave it running overnight and see how it goes.
