The amount or lack of compression is a matter of which codec is used at the time of the files creation. There are compressed AVI and MOV files and there are uncompressed AVI and MOV files.</p> <p>@<strong>shippocai</strong></p> <p>The best for what? What do you want to use the video for?

The file isn't split into multiple files, actually, only a quarter of the file actually gets sent through. The rest .. is well gone! But it plays properly on my Windows Media viewer and Nero Showtime, so the problem only occurred while I was trying to import the file on Premiere. The largest avi file size is 3.66 gigs. About the hard drive, I'm not sure which one it is.
