VirtualDub and DVDStyler incompatible?

DVDStyler is a great program, but some of the AVI files I had needed a little trim, so I did so with VirtualDub, and now they don't load in DVDStyler at all. The program just hangs indefinitely. Is it just me or is there a known issue with files output from VirtualDub?

Okay, so it's not

Okay, so it's not incompatibility in the sense I thought it was. Turns out that for some reason, AVI's output by VirtualDub are ridiculously huge. I opened an AVI to trim off some of the video from the end, and then when VirtualDub output the new version, it was 18.5GB -- a bit much. So what I interpreted as DVDStyler's indefinite hanging and refusal to load was in fact its attempt to load a huge-ass movie. So is there some setting within VirtualDub that I'm not seeing? Is there a "huge-ass" checkbox I can clear? I'll fiddle around with it, but I'd appreciate any input anyone has on the subject. Thanks.

Did you choose a codec (Video=>Compression)?

If not, uncompressed video is supposed to be huge. But since you just want to trim anyway, you should choose Video=>Direct stream copy
