Optimising rendered file size

Hey all, I've just been playing around with the files that I'm collecting for a DVD I'm making, and much to my shock I've found that little clips (which I render separately to see how they truly look) are a LOT larger in file size than I'd expect them to be.
For example, a 2 minute clip for credits with nothing but a black background and white text takes up 400MB...what's up with that? I'm pretty sure I haven't changed the rendering settings so they're on the default setting right now, is there any way to optimise the file size without losing too much quality?
Cheers!

You're rendering it as an AVI file, right?
DV-AVI is (approx.) 13.5 gigs/hr so 400 MB for 2 min. sounds about right.
You want to keep it in AVI until you're ready to make your DVD.
Then the file size will shrink.

I don't use Nero so I have no idea if that will work.
I use DVD Architect to "prepare" my DVD and then RecordNow to do the burn.
As long as Nero does the conversion for you, yes, it will shrink in size.
My suggestion would be to try it with an RW and see what happens.
