One thing seems to be constantly overlooked here, AVI is not a file format, it's just a container for all sorts of file formats.
The AVI I referred to was DV-AVI, digital video contained in an AVI wrapper. It is the common format for MiniDV camcorder to PC capture. It takes about 13 GB/hour. The compression is usually around 11% but pretty much loss less.
The file sizes indicated by zimmebr seem to be uncompressed AVI.
I had my daubts that the BELKIN could in fact capture to DV-AVI. zimmebr may be stuck with capturing to mpeg2.

You missed a bit out, the full definition is
AVI
Audio Video Interleaved - A multimedia file format for storing sound and moving pictures in RIFF format developed by Microsoft. An AVI file can use different codecs and formats so there is no set format for an AVI file unlike for example standard VCD video which sets a standard for resolution, bitrates, and codecs used.
