HOW DO I FIX THIS?

In dgindex, I think there is an option to decode the audio to wav, or something along those lines. Choose that, and you will get a wav file that will behave nicely in whatever software you are using.

Well that didn't work, but das okay! I just used apple Compressor 4 to change it to an mp3 and it works fine.

If you already have something that accepts .ac3 files as input, you want to convert to a lossless format like .wav* or .aiff if at all possible, rather than .mp3. There's no sense in going through another round of lossy compression if you don't have to.

* I know you can use lossy codecs such as ADPCM to store audio streams in .wav files, but who actually does that anymore? I'm assuming straight PCM here.

whoa, wait...

ARE MY FINISHED FILES SUPPOSED TO BE SO FRIGGIN HUGE? 12GB? 30GB? HOLY CRAP! DIDN'T HUFFYUV COMPRESS THEM? or is it supposed to be like that even after I send it to MPEGStreamclip? (which BTW i'm now exporting as mp4 at 72% .H264)

Everythings fine up until the streamclip part...

Yes they are supposed to. Lossless files will be big. Not as much as outright uncompressed but still big. Your NLEs will love them, though. Your HDDs shouldn't care if you have those 60 bucks 2TB HDDs.

I have only a 256 SSD and a 1TB external and over 15 complete collections of anime. I think i need more space

ALSO! Can anyone tell me what settings i should use for MPEGStreamclip? Should i keep with mp4 or just use mov?

I'm not very knowledgeble about preferred editing formats on OS X. You might want to check out the guides in the Mac section or just open a thread and ask there; this isn't the place to be asking this anyway, it is quite off topic, actually.

Would that compress my AVIs to smaller than 10GB each? If not, then i'll just stick with getting more storage space...
