I guess if you captured at 320x240 with moderate compression maybe. But as mentioned previously, DV eats drive space VERY QUICKLY (13 GB/hour), so I'd say a 40 GB drive would be the bare minumum, and big external drives are getting cheaper all the time, and would be a worthy investment. 2 cents. - Mark
