[MacDV] Firewire HDD Experience

[Gerhard Kuhn]

I have a LaCie 80 GB firewire drive and I am happy with it.  The 
aluminum case looks beautiful on my desk.   I believe LaCie only makes 
the cases and puts other manufacturers drives into them in my case a 
7200 RPM Maxtor.  The only reservations I have is that I am not able to 
capture video to it directly.  After 30 seconds or so the capture stops 
so I have been capturing to the internal drive and then copy that to 
the firewire drive.  An extra step but at the speed of firewire not a 
big deal.
