avi file size

[freakos]

i got a cam using it to monitor my office.
its a generic model so manufactorer is unknown, it cam with videopole (software to use the cam).

there is no sound
i used 1 fps
the resolution is 352 228
file type avi

my prob is software ask for how much space i wana allocate for the file, so i need to know how big the file must be if i wana record for 12hrs

thx in advance for anyhelp you may provide, sugjestions of capture software r welcome also

When working with AVI you can plan on 12-14 GB/hour.

not with 1 fps and compression!

One frame per second is eqivilent to a fast slide show.

i guess that res is really 352x288
you should use indeo5 compressor set at 85% quality
3600frames in 1 hour is like 240 sec of avi at 15fps
25/30 mb

300/350mb for 12 hours....
