Thank you everyone for your input.... I guess we will all learn this video thing together... ha
Actually, I checked the size and I was wrong... the mpgs that I had originally made were larger and when I made them into divx the average size is abt or just under 20 mbs.. and the quality (and size) is and was depending on the original quality of the original laser.. some of the first ones I did were the old ones in the colored sleeves, probably the first issue of the pioneers (probably the first 12-15 lasers), some of those were not a really good picture in the first place, poor vhs quality at best and the sound was very low gain. But, the later ones I bought (the ones in the gray sleeves) were very good quality and took lots of space on hard drive.
I'm now saving them to avi, they seem to open and play just great, my laptop that I use for my show has a big enough internal hard drive for what I've got. But I can also play them on my other laptop (not as fast) and play them off of a 500 GB external drive and they work fine also.
Back (several years back) when I was first capturing from the lasers, I had no idea what I was doing, all I knew is that I wanted to capture them and burn them to a vcd format so I could play them in my machines.... we've come a long ways baby!!!! My original desktop comp. that I was making them on wasn't fast enough and if the video had too much going on in it, like flashing lights, people moving and dancing and the like, the ati program would start dropping frames.... ha, that was 2 desktop computers and capturing devises ago.... we learn, don't we? It's been a fun ride...
