If it's AVI, get a 300gig drive. If it's mpeg, 120gig is probably OK. Drives are pretty cheap. You won't go wrong with 300gig or larger.
I am just getting ready to transfer my home movies to DVD, and will be using my PC to capture from DVD, make edits, and then burn to DVD.
Is there a "rule of thumb" to use in calculating Minutes of DV to number of MB's of HDD space? Just trying to get an idea before purchasing HDD storage this weekend. Don't want to break the bank, but want to be reasonable in terms of having space to work and get this done in an effecient manner.
Suggestions/experience much appreciated!!
