Well, I'm not totally sure its me or not, but I will take all offered suggestions.
I've been using Adobe Premiere 6.0 with a Martox 2000 setup.
Lately I've been shooting/editing music videos on it. Now, the average song is about 4 or so minutes. Now what I export each shot to the computer, each take ends up being just under 900 meg... each... Um, am I doing something wrong?
I shoot about 10 takes from different angles, and put them all on the pc, so it takes just under 10 gig to do 4 minutes/10 takes. When I get it all edited the way I like, the final avi itself is just under 900 meg too. When I compress it to an mpg, the size goes down to about 40 meg, but the quality really sucks at that point...

Can anyone explain to me if this file size is normal, or is that I am sampleing it the the pc in an incorrect way?
I'm finding it hard to believe that its correct when 4 minutes is 900 meg, and a 2 hour movie can be stored on a 4.7 gig dvd.... Any tips?!?

You're using the DV codec, yes? Then 900M-1GB for 4 minutes sounds about right (I know it's real big). DVDs use Mpeg2 which is compressed and hence much smaller.

Convert your final video to Mpeg2, and do your editing whilst still in the DV format. The DV format is lossless and easier to edit.
