[MacDV] Mobile Setup

[Gowyn Wilcox]

I do this on a regular basis.  Yes you can capture strait to the external
but not very well, dropped frames.

Personally what I do and mind you I'm working with larger projects is
capture to the internal.  Transfer to the external and leave it at home.
Start the project but work in OffineRT, (saves space big time.)  When the
project is done just reconnect in full res.

This way the original is always safe.  It's quicker to render an OffineRT
file than a full res and you save disk space.

I usually allow four to five times the original file size for render and
audio files on a project on my internal disk.

Good luck.
