700 MB HD???  I guess if you captured at 320x240 with moderate 
compression maybe.  But as mentioned previously, DV eats drive space 
VERY QUICKLY (13 GB/hour), so I'd say a 40 GB drive would be the bare 
minumum, and big external drives are getting cheaper all the time, and 
would be a worthy investment.

2 cents.
