I think the HD idea sounds best for what he wants to do. I got a little more
info this morning and he says that he was considering burning to DVD for a
partner travelling to Europe.. Video standards problems begin to arise a la
PAL/NTSC. This was one of the considerations for going to a laptop
solution.. (he needs a new comp. anyway) I think an external FW HD would
work in the widest variety of situations.

Is there a rule of thumb for how much space video/audio information takes on
a HD? For some reason 1Mb/sec pops up in my mind.

BIG Thank you's to all who have contributed - the members on this list kick
ass.
