yeah .. DVD's can hold up to 19gig's of storage and HD/BlueRay up to 38gig.

no one ever said that DVD files were small; they just said "they were clean." I use DVDfab and only extract the Episodes I need. ( usually about ±2gig. )

vdub is converting them to a lossless codec, which will naturally make them HUEG LIEK XBOX, so instead of 9 minute clips, you should really chop it up into more like a few seconds clips.

so make the dvd into chapters and do it that way. it will be smaller that way

we'd love to say that there is a DVD editor available, well yeah -- there actually is one, yet to make files available to Vegas and Premiere -yes- they are going to be quite large. hmm . I know Magix Pro 12 & Pinnacle Studio Plus will accept DVD's straight from the DVD's themselves while editing; doesn't Vegas also have that choice?

lolno. DVD tops out at 9gigs and Blu-ray holds up to 50. HD-DVD is some stupid number smaller than that.

Triple layer HDDVD can hold 51GB, others are 15 or 30.

Don't ask me why triple layer isn't 45GB, they must also be using smaller pits and stuff.

Dual sided dual layer DVDs theoretically hold 17GiB, or in real terms about 16,200MB, but those are extremely rare, and I certainly doubt writeable DSDL DVDs are a) cost effective b) freely available.

I figured he wasn't talking about double-sided, since a double-sided dual-layer BRD would approach 100GB. And yeah, HD-DVD is for fags :|
