This depends on the movie format you are going to save at. It can sum up a lot if you are not using codecs although you will get better quality of the video.

In most normal cases, this might add up to 500 MB or so. If you are not using codecs, this could go up to 30 GB :mad:
 
it also depends on if its a animated show, i.e. the simpons, or a regular show. It can be reduced by converters and what not, and could get down too about 300 mb. If its animated , i have seen it get down to about 100 mb at full size. It all depends if you have something like dr divx. Also if your willing to sacrifice some resolution, it can get even smaller. It just depends on what you want.

Hey, where is the original video? Are you going to use a digital video cam for this? Or you just have the video on a VHS tape or so and you intend to transfer it to your PC? All these things matter a lot.
 
hmm well did you want to get it straight off the tv? if you did, your going to need a tv tuner first, since i have never had one, not quite sure how these work. If you can manage to save the episode to your hard drive with the tv tuner, it will most likely be huge. So you will need some kind of video encoder that will either change the file format and/or make it smaller. I personally recommend dr.divx. Somebody who has experience may be a bit more fitting to help you, but it shouldnt be incredibly difficult
 
Its a DVD disk. Its Aqua Teen Hunger Force. So pretty much I just want to save the episodes from the ATHF disk to my hard drive so I can watch them without having to put the disk in all the time. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Everything you need and more is here: http://www.doom9.org/ If you don't want to screw around with learning about encoding download Gordian Knot Rip Pack; it's pretty straightforward and easy to use.

Only if you use MPEG1/2 which is stupidly inefficent. MPEG4 can punch that in under 400MB at 'scene standards' with 5.1 sound (if you need to ask about scene standards you dont need to know ;))

Depends on the source format, if it's MPEG1 or MPEG2 based (which is most likely with homerecordings and such), then a program like TMPGEnc (they have a free version) is prolly most effective. For MPEG4 based files (i.e., .AVI), VirtualDub and VirtualDubMod (also free, the Mod version allows you to play with AC3) are vastly superior

Im just wondering, would nero6 do it too?

Yes but miserably
