How much digital video can handle my MacBook Pro?

Years I have MacBook Pro and I have decided to transfer video from my camcorder (MiniDV cassettes) to my Mac. About how much do I plan to load on my computer without running out of space and seriously slow your computer down?

dgey is absolutely correct … but the techniques: 1) You do not tell us how much space on the hard drive is on the internal drive Thet – you should NEVER EVER allow any hard drive whether start-up internal or external – get less than 20% space Free. This is not specific to the Macintosh – is ANY computer. 2) Because you should not be saved on the internal disk, space above information (available hard disk) is not important to save your video business, but for calibration of your hard drive External – you do not tell us what camera you use. MiniDV camcorders may be based DV – standard definition only (including 4:3 and 16:9) as an Elura Canon ZR series or Sony DCR-HC Series or Panasonic PV-GS Series … or DV / HDV as the HV series Canon or Sony HDR-HC series … Sixty minutes of standard definition – DV format video – when imported to the hard drive of a computer will use 13-14 GB of hard drive space. Sixty minutes of High Definition – Video HDV format – use about 44 gig of space on the computer hard drive. When you compress the video file (to make it smaller), you'll be removing data and potentially degrade the video quality. Do not compress the video … This should be the last step after video editing is completed. And the miniDV tape is better than an archive disk drive – external hard drive is fine for backups, archiving, but no. MiniDV is a digital format and viewed as acceptable for a media archive – when the tape is not re-used and stored in a cool, dry place. Lock the tape, too – and mark the label strip (came in the case of bands) with a description of the contents of the tape. If you insist on the road from disk hard, then you need to get is a sort of tape backup or use a RAID array that has the same data on two disks removed physically different. There rank Consumer Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices that can do that. The reason for this is the probability that two disks will die at the same time low so that the RAIDING allows data to be more than a storage medium. When a disk dies, replace and data from the surviving drive is written on the new disc …
