    AVI files generally take the most space. MPEG is a form of compression and it reduces the file size substantially. A one hour AVI file occupies about 13 GB but up to two hours of MPEG video can fit on a 4.7 Gb DVD. I'm not sure about the MOV format but I think it's compressed too.

    If I remember correctly, MOV files are larger than AVI.
