That is why I have invested in space. 80 gigs >$100 New DV player <$1000. Now other than saving all my footage on my deep storage drive (separate from capture/scratch drive) and saving the project file, (what I might do with an "important " job) Please explain how I can get the equivalent repeatability(of logging) with capture now and my space hog methods, and still wipe the media out when think i'm done(as I do). This may be something I have missed or overlooked and could be useful. Jim
