[MacDV] Re: FCP and total capturing time

[Paul Williams]

Mark,

That would be great! I guess my overall question is, is 180 gigs big 
enough to capture 2 hours of video if i raised the capture limit as 
you suggest? If so, that would be great.

I guess i'm trying to figure out if should just lay out the bucks for 
a HUGE external firewire drive. I've already got 2 180gig drives on 
the way for backups to my internals.
