Non-Linear Editor. Windows Movie Maker 2 is actually a linear editor, not really an NLE, but I didn't have a better term to describe it that would indicate that it fills the same general spot in the editing workflow as, say, Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas Video.

I meant to say that, for the majority of those steps, it doesn't matter what program you use to do your actual editing.

Does VirtualDubMod have a guide for first time users? I don't understand it at all.

Ok. Now, whenever I try to save the file I'm working on as an avi, the projected file size is always over 2000 MB! That should not be!

Depending on how long it is, 2000MB is possible if it is uncompressed.

The video is 1 min, 31 sec long. If you want to know what the video is, its the "clean" version of the opening of Evangelion from the Platinum DVD. The size of the vob is 77,616 KB. VirtualDubMod is telling me that the decompressor is Helix YV12. The FourCC code says two things: YV12 in brackets, and directly below that, Unknown. I'd attach a screenshot if I could, but I can't.

Sounds like the segment is being saved as Uncompressed RGB. For comparison, since I have the Mahoromatic OP (1m 33s) on my HDD, I started saving it as Uncompressed RGB and the projected file size was 2600MB. If I save it as HuffYUV lossless compressed, the projected file size is 690MB.

Well, I intend to save it as one file so I don't have to rip the vob from the DVD every time I want to use it. However, it shouldn't have a projected file size of 2000 MB or so. Also, DGIndex told me that the footage is composed entirely of interlaced frames, frame rate is a constant 29.970 fps, video type is NTSC, it's composed of 2731 frames, the bitrate varies, and the field order says "Top".
