I am creating a small installation and I want to be able to record video, using Max of course, in windows 7 64bit in an acceptable filesize and quality.

The problem that I have is that when I record Video in e.g. 720p using jit.dx.grab I get huge filesizes from even just few seconds of recording.

The installation is supposed to be running for about a year and I only have limited space on the harddrive.

I have tried getting WinVDIG to work so I can use jit.qt.grab without any luck so far.

Try jit.vcr. You have to install quicktime and then you have access to different codecs. H264 should work for a good size/quality ratio.

jit.vcr is the way to go. Thank you very much.

For anyone interested, its going to look something like this.

how did it go?I'm doing something similar, taking a live camera feed and messing around with it, but I'd like to directly record bits to show my lecturer as an example.

I'm using the vizzie recorder patch at the moment, would you recommend swapping to the vcr for better quality?

It went pretty well. Right now im using jpeg with normal quality in a 960 x 720 res. It doesnt look great but i think that with some tweaking it could a lot better. For a 15 second recording its about 50 MB.
