scratch that - just confirmed the output was completely broken. 35 mins of black SHOULD compress well lol (my bad)

RE: Video Coding Format with 13 GB per Hour
Well I have been using DV, as it seemed the best choice of what I had available (hey, only a beginner really - lots to learn).
If you'll indulge, I've just started playing with huffyuv and got a query about it's compression ratios.
To give myself some starting data, I used Super to convert a 35min DV file (7.4GB) to huffyuv, which churned out at 30.6GB file. Not unexpected. What was unexpected, was looking at the disc space actually used on my compressed drive - it showed only 1.1GB!!! I then simply zipped it and it shrank to 267MB! Is this normal? Or did something break? Now gotta see if Vegas likes it :) -
RE: Video Coding Format with 13 GB per Hour
Hi, I'm a video geek in my spare time, so here a couple of cents...
13GB per Hour at a complete guess sounds like probably standard definition DV format (i.e. tape camcorder standard).
At least, that matches my own experience for file sizing in that format :)
This is actually still at roughly 5:1compression (lossless though), so you can image how big raw footage gets.
