I have finished editing my movie, its about 10 minutes, and now i want to export. I go to the File|Export Timeline|Movie and set it up. THen i save. It starts saving the movie. After it gets to about 8000 out of 18000 of the frames done, it says No Disk SPace, hardrive blah,blah. Well I have a little more than a gig left. How can a movie thats 10 minutes take up a gig of space. Am i doing somthing wrong or what? Also after i save it i want to put it on VHS. How do i record it back on my camera. I have a Sony PC101 and i'm connecting it through the USB. Please HELp. THANKS
 
Exporting as a straight AVI with no compression will eat about 30mb of disk space for each second of video. I know that sounds insane but that's the way it is. So your 10 minute video would require much more than 1Gb. You could try the Export to Tape function but I'm not sure if that will work through USB. You could also change the Export settings to compress video with a good compressor that won't lose a lot of quality.
