[MacDV] Re: Mobile Setup

[Jim Zabilla]

I agree with Daniel.  Try to capture on the external and partiton to be
tidy.  The internal drive is just not speedy enough and it's hard for the
drive to be in more than one place at once. (crashing)

If you must use just the one drive I would capture as clips and not as one
big piece of dv.

Although I have not done it the previous note about OfflineRt is right on
but I would still keep it off the internal.
