Video capture

[scottygio]

When you actually capture video to your hard drive what type of file is it saved as?
Is it avi or wmv or both?
And is sound saved as a separate file as well?

thanks

When I capture from my miniDV camera I capture to an AVI file. It is large. Averages abotu 1Gb for every five minutes of footage. I get one avi file and both video and sound are in it.

I typically capture using Premiere Pro and Matrox tools.
