We need a bit more information, including your computer specs. Are you capturing the DV version of AVI or true uncompressed AVI? If DV, then it takes around 13 GB per hour of video. But if you are capturing uncompressed AVI, it will need about 55 - 60 GB per hour. Plus you will be creating working files etc, so your computer will always need plenty of space while capturing and editing. Many people have at least one hard disk set aside just for video editing.
We also need to know something about the process you are following? Are you, for example, capturing your AVI, editing and then going straight to the burning stage (Share > Create disc)? If so, than the out of space message could also relate to the DVD blank you are using i.e. the file you are producing in the burn process is too large to burn to the DVD blank you are using. Have you read the top sticky post on this Board? You will see from that that you should be capturing, editing, then going to Share > Create video file > DVD. And only when you have that video file, should you open the burning module and burn it to disc (if it is not too big for the DVD).
If it is too big for the DVD, then you will need to experiment with the bitrate and audio settings if you want to reduce the file size; or else you can 'burn' not a disc but a disc image (ISO) file or a Video_TS file and then use a third party product like DVDShrink or Nero's Recode module to reduce the file to fit on the DVD. Or you could upgrade your version of Video Studio to 9 which has a shrink to fit function included.
