Well, if all advice is welcome, I suggest getting FCP or FCE (depending 
on your budget and whether you can get the education discount yourself, 
or through someone you know). Then, after you finish a project (in 
which you properly logged the tapes, of course), you can trash the 
media, because FC makes recapturing the necessary video a breeze. So, 
in the end, if you do a lot of editing, the $300 you spend on FC 
(whether FCP ed or FCE) actually will save you money on HD space.
