[MacDV] Re: 200GB firewire drives

[Mark Glick]

My Sony DV cam is on the approved list.  My huge problem is my media and 
the cut of my movie are residing on the external.  Unless I clear about 
8 gigs on my internal so I can put my project on my internal drive I 
don't seem to have a way to get my movie to tape.

My internal drive can hold 18gig of storage. I only have 5 gig 
available.  I need to transfer 7 gigs to the external hard drive.  That 
leaves 6 gigs I can leave on my internal.  Any suggestions on what to 
transfer?  I have my OS 10 software discs.
