Ahhh but to have that option. I have a 1 usb tangerine iBook. I capture short clips to my internal drive and edit them perfectly well. Granted I am not doing long video or complex exporting but I did want to let people know it is possible to do video even without an ideal setting... Hopefully soon I can get my firewire iMac situated then I can indulge in the external drive only for video thing...
