The issue is worth discussing. The reason the file size in huge is that most P4's can't compress too much in realtime. So a small compression is done, but that's it.
If you are lucky, the file is in AVI or MPEG and you can use VIRTUAL DUB to recompress the file you want with some DiVX CODEC.
I will not teach you about codecs and Virtual Dub since both have fine web page documentation. Light codec learning is over at http://www.moviecodec.com

I have a PIV + 256 MB RDRAM + pixel tv tuner card. the reason i got the tv card was to record the tv programs that are missed. the capture options does record the program but the file size is huge.
I did try win dvr but since i have upgraded to win XP i am unable to install it.
Yes i have downloaded the divx codec but what next?
Is there any software preferably free which can help me?
TIA
