A lot of the size has to do with the quality of the video. I'm not sure but DIVX may be large do to its quality. I thought that AVI was the way to go for quality and size. But I'm not to sure about this. I'll see what I can find but I'm not to up on this kind of stuff.

DIVX works on MPG-4 compared to DVD's and MPEG, which are MPG-2. So, as you can see there's a lot more compression going on with decent quality to be had. However, the whole process can take a long long time if you don't have a fast processor.
