that's what I sorta meant. Usually captured footage, if you did it losslessly, would take about the same space as a single DVD.
I am thinking 1GB/min for 720x480@29.97fps. Of course that is huffYUV in RGB mode. YUV would give smaller results.
You're most likely going to need more footage than your AMV, unless you've got your AMV entirely planned out. So 5mins atleast for a 3min AMV, sounds about right. That's atleast 5GB

. Maybe you'll need more or less. But you're not saving alot of space by capturing over ripping.
