I need a little help from some of you guys who are more framiliar with digtial video and digital video editing. I have a camcorder,sadly it does not connect directly to my computer. I have a Dazzle 80 adapter which makes it so that I can put the video on the system. The program which came with the Dazzle adapter is called MGI Video Wave 4. It is a good program, but it creates the videos as avi files that are gigantic. We're talking like 20 megabytes for 5 seconds. I have about an hour and a half I want to put on my computer. Are there any other decent programs out there that I can use to capture the video directly from the dazzle, and if not can any of you give me any information on how to encode the video as a Divx file? Thanks a ton guys.
