The normal Project Setting in DVD flick is 4.3GB
It won't create a file larger than the various pre-sets.
Generally, if the running time of the source file exceeds 3-4 hours, it will simply refuse the conversion.

I"m trying to create DVD file from 700mb avi file(duration 1 hour 13 minutes and 15 seconds). I want to know, will it fit to DVD with 4.7 GB. Cause if I click "Create DVD" it needs 12GB harddisk space. Why is it so?
I need to know this, because I have only 5GB left on harddisk and I don"t want to delete anything, if it"s unneccessary.

WOW!!! 6GB compressed to 700MB...................i want that crusher of a program
attar is correct in saying that DVD Flick needs that 12GB space to create the temporary file.
You will need another hard drive, internal or external to which you send/store the conversion
I think a movie that has been compressed to .avi from DVD.vob just makes the file a different/smaller format that will not play in a DVD player (some stand-alone DVD players don't play .avi files)and expanding the file back to its original fomat doesn't bring back the parts of the original that have been removed by compression. Like a commercial digital cd, once its been copied to MP3 format from ACC or WAV (say 35MB from 700MB, then rebuilding the CD and making a .wav or pcm folder of the MP3 folder will not recreate the frequencies that were lost in the making of the MP3 files. All you get is a massive 500MB+ creation of a MP3 thats changed its name to .wav or .flac or whatever. A bloated MP3.
But, I'd still like to know what program it was that did the 6GB to 700MB compression.

My understanding is that the size of the compressed file is the running time x compression rate.
Assume 1000 Kb/s for the compressor setting, that equals 128000 bytes per second or .128MB
.128 times 60 equals 7.68 MB per minute of running time, thus 60 minutes would be 7.68 x 60= 460MB for a one hour video....I think.
