I think they mean "video", but not really sure...

Back on topic: If you want to make a "video," you need at least a few gigs of space, otherwise the end quality will be evil and not like you! :evil:

My videos typically run about 40gb. But I don't really try to conserve my space. The first video I made from dvd footage, I was able to work with only 15gb. It was a little difficult, but I managed. You just need to plan it out more before you get started.

Absolute, bare minimum is 5 gigs.

You're going to end up ripping VOBs in batches, pulling clips, then deleting them for the next batch.

It also means you'll have to plan out so you don't have too many extraneous clips unlikely to be in the video. HuffYUV is great for quality, but man does it suck up drive space.

I would suggest 15 GB as a good amount for the start-to-finish process of a pre-planned, 4-minute AMV.

Just because I'm an asshole...

LMAO I generally need about 50 gigs of my drive free to rip my source and my final exports. But then again I have an 80 gig hard drive and a 200 gig hard drive. So I don't even try to conserve space anymore. I'm sure if I tried hard I could cut it down to under 20 gigs. hell maybe even 10 if I'm lucky.

We are talking about ripping VOB files which run about a gig per episode of source footage. Not the final encode which should run under 75 megs for a reasonalbly lengthed video.

first a vob file comes from a dvd and then you do all this other stuff to make it usable....and my computer sucks so I only have 7gb to work with but I can make it happen :P

the VOB you rip will be about 1 gig for each episode, you usually rip all three episodes from a dvd in the same session, but you can do one at atime if needed...then the .avi's that you make from the vob's (one ep at a time) take about 350 megs, so you need at least 3 gigs to do a short series

my final video was 125 megs but i didn't shrink it at all from the source footage :p

All of my videos are either 720 or 704 pixels wide, yet they still obey the bitrate that I set for them :)

Anyway, the amount of space that you need depends on the method that you're using. If you work directly from ripped VOB files, then you're dealing with a maximum of nine gigs per DVD, usually a bit less. If you convert the VOBs into Huffy files and work with those, then you need like seven times as much space. And if you're using AVIs that you got from Kazaa or Morpheus, then it's whatever amount of space those take up.

my largest vdo was 5.1 gig of uncompressed video, but I had already compressed the rest of it - to give me space to do more editing on the Main StoryBoard ^^

HOW MUCH HARDDRIVE SPACE DO I NEED TO MAKE A [video]?

Postby CHWOODYARD » Mon Jul 14, 2003 2:06 pm

I don't know why your amv is 5.1 GB post-it. My video was a 864 MB avi, uncompressed. Then I cmpressed it to a 47 MPEG.

Saeth1: AVIs don't need to be made so that cuts down on the storage space. I ripped the entire series of Trigun on my compter and it takes up 32 GB of space. making the AVS files and D2V file barely take up any space.
