You cannot easily say how much does a video file captures from you Hard disk.
A ripped Dvd usually is 7-8 Gb
You can shrink the dvd by using Dvd shrink
after shrinking a dvd you have an estimated 30%loss from quality depending on the settings
You can convert the Dvd to a compressed avi file using Dvix this will take aproximetly 700-800Mb with no much loss (about 5-10%)
The key for a small file sized video are the encoding settings...
A good Hard disk for Videos will be 200Gb-300Gb

A movie takes up like 7 - 11 GB of space. They take up alot of space so it's probably better to buy blank DvDs. But blank dvds are expansive as well.

If you ripped your DVD's in the highest quality format, it would take about 7-8GB per DVD. If you have a 250 GB hard drive, you could store about 33 movies.

They usually take up between 500MB to 800MB depending upon the length. A film that you are editing can take up to 3 GB depending upon length becuase all the resources to make it are added to the actual pre-production movie.

If you rip a DVD to your hard drive with DVDShrink, it's usually about 4.3 gigabytes.
