The problem I have is the captured files (.avi) from my Sony DCR-TRV730 NTSC Digital 8 camera are very large. For example 84 seconds of captured video takes up 314 mb of memory.
I captured the videos on 2 different capture software and they both used the same amount of memory (314 mb / 315 mb).
I utilized "ScenalyzerLive" (yes very old) and Sony's "PlayMemoriesHome software" and as mentioned got the same memory requirements for 84 seconds of video clips.
I didn't see anywhere on the "PlayMemoriesHome software" settings to change the resolution or the capture size. I also looked at the camera menu to determine if it was set in such a way as to output such huge files.
I am very frustrated since 4 hours of unedited clips is 52.4 GB. The frame width is 720 and frame height is 480; Data rate 27286kbps; frame rate 29.97 fps; AUDIO: Bit rate 1536 kbps.
Are these parameters normal? Just seems high to me for some reason. Once I start editing them in Power Director, is there a way to shrink the output without affecting the quality? Or should I compress the clips prior to importing them into Power Director? If yes, can you suggest best way to compress the clips in batches?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
