I've never worked with Video Studio 5 but I would assume it is somewhat similar to Video Studio 7. There are tutorials on the Ulead Website for Video Studio 7 which should be of help to you. Download the video tutorials for Video Studio 7. They are very informative. Good luck. You might want to consider an upgrade to Video Studio 8. It has some excellent features.

Welcome to video editing

If you are importing video in DV format, that's about the size of it - 1 hour of video will consume about 13 Gb...
You do have another choice - if your computer has pretty impressive specs and can handle a high workload. You can save to mpeg format. This is the compressed format that gets loaded onto a DVD. Re-encoding video "on the fly" is pretty demanding, but mpeg video occupies much less space.
Be aware though that if you intend to do lots of editing in your project, mpeg video has potential drawbacks - DV is the preferred format.

Mike,
One suggestion I have for you for capturing in MPEG 2 format (files are considerably smaller than DV-AVI) is a product called Instant DVD 2.0 or Instant DVD+DV. This product has some of it's own resources and takes the strain off your CPU when capturing and converting to the MPEG format. This product will not capture in DV-AVI format. You can check this product out on the ADS website www.adstech.com. I own this product and use it for captures that don't have to be in the DV-AVI format such as those that do not require extensive editing. It is very easy to use and gives impressive results. If you shop on line, you should be able to find good deals on it as well. Good luck.
