I did a project that is an 1 hour and 20 minutes. Last night I tried to render it as a avi, then later it would not finish, telling me my hd was out of space. I thought "Okay I will free up lots of space. I have 53.7 GB of free space. The render settings said my estimated file size under the Default Template [uncompressed] is 853 MB. I went to go eat dinner, and I noticed after a half hour of rendering the estimated time of finishing would not stop, it said 12 hours straight, and would not stop there. It acts as if this were a 5 hour movie when it is not, again it is only an 80 minutes. The video I'm editing is a avi file I downloaded, and is a size of 720 x 480, which is the standard size I wish to save it as.
Does this have to do with the right template? Am I missing something under preferences? The other head scratcher of this is that through the fall I dl 4 hour long episodes of a show to burn on disc. When I rendered each of them to avi files I had NO space issue at all, and that time I had the same amount of free space. And each time I rendered those episodes it took up to 6 hours each which I knew was a standard amount of time, and they came out great. One night I while I slept it rendered an ep through teh 6 hours, and the next night I'd do the same for the next ep.
