I am blown away why the file size is turning out soo big... I put together a movie of just gaming clips, didn't add any audio, transitions, effects, anything; just clips about 15-20 seconds long. Compiling to about 3:00 total and the file is 100MB? I've seen movies of the same sort (gaming) that are 15/20 mins long and are only 200-300 MB, and that's including a lot of audio/special effects/etc.
Here are some ss of my vegas setup...
