I have just got my easycap with ulead. I tried to copy a video and found that the avi file came out massive. I also tried pinnicle but found the file size ok but playing back it seemed to be double speed. I want to copy some videos that are a couple hours each, which is the best software to use? are there any good tutorials to follow. I am using a dell laptop with vista home, 160 gb hard drive and 1gb ram. Any advise as new to all this

I have read through a lot of the other posts and picked up bits but a tutorial or direct advise on how to get started would be very helpful. Thanks in advance
