Best format to use for Sony Vegas 7.0 editing?

The regular avi are just too damn HUGE. My HD is only 160 GB so I can't get all the clips I want at 20 gigs per 20 minutes. It's just too much! Are they supposed to be this big or am I doing something wrong? If not I need a different format thats smaller and still lets me preview with out choppy frame rate when I add complex affects.

Please help :'(

1 compress them with lagarith
2 take only the clips you need (cut out the parts you will use)

Kill the audio and only take the clips you need, not entire episodes.

When you say "regular AVI", you're using a lossless codec, not saving them uncompressed, right?

I just save them as avi file with Vdub

But in the Compression options, what codec do you use?

Well..at first i thought u were talking like...you were renderin it uncompressed,until i noticed "per 20 minutes",use Loop Regions to select the part you edited to render

(Just something that might make you feel better about your HD..mines only 80gb,and i have no extra money to spend on an external hd >.<)

Ok, I think I get this now so how do I cut the audio with VDub?

Depends on your version.
If you have a Streams menu, then go to the Streams list and disable all the streams.
If instead you have an Audio menu, then there should be an option somewhere on it to disable the audio. (I haven't worked with a version of VDub that had this for a while, so I don't know exactly what it's called.)
