Pardon my ignorance, but I wonder how it is possible to create DVD quality MPEGs or AVIs of a “small” size. I am told that high quality MPEG2 video capture is supposed to result in files of huge size (up to 1 GB per minute of video). Fine. I have a big hard drive. But, I have downloaded a bunch of videos of all kinds and many of them are DVD quality alright but the size is quite manageable. For example, I have one 30-minute long video of near DVD quality and it is only 190 MB. How is this achieved? Would editing a capture with Adobe Premiere, for example, allow me to compress the capture without much loss of quality?
Thanks in advance for your input.
