Hope I'm in the right forum.

Recently purchased a Miglia TV Max to digitize old VHS tapes. TV Max lets you choose between MPEG 2, MPEG 4 and DIVX recording formats. I recorded several VHS (typical 2 hour movie) tapes to my hard drive no problem, but the file sizes are a whopping 21 GB. The recording format I selected was MPEG 4 standard which, according to Miglia, should have taken up 1.8 GB per hour of recorded video. Can't copy a 21 GB file to a 4.7 GB disk. TV Max is supposed to do this conversion for you.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
