Digital Video How much can handle my MacBook Pro?
Years I have MacBook Pro and I have decided to transfer video from my video camera (MiniDV cassettes) to my Mac About how I plan to load on my computer without running out of space and seriously slow your computer?
dgey is absolutely correct … but the techniques: 1) You do not tell us how much hard drive space is Thet internal drive – you should NEVER allow that any hard drive if the launch internal or external – receives less than 20% free space. This is not specific to the Macintosh – is any team. 2) Due to that should not be stored in the inner disc, the space above information (available on the hard drive) is important not to keep his video business, but for calibration of your external hard drive – do not tell us what the camera used. MiniDV camcorders may be based DV – only standard definition (including 4:3 and 16:9) and Elura ZR series Canon or Sony DCR-HC Series or Panasonic PV-GS Series … or DV / HDV and the Canon HV series or Sony HDR-HC series … Sixty minutes of standard definition – The format DV video – when imported into the hard drive of a computer will use 13-14 GB of hard disk space. Sixty minutes of high definition – HDV format video – the use about 44 GB of hard drive space on your computer. By compressing the video file (to make it smaller), will be to remove the data and, potentially, degrade video quality. Do not compress the video … This should be the last step after video editing is complete. And the miniDV tape is better than File a disk drive – external hard drive is fine for backup, archive, but no. MiniDV is a digital format and viewed as acceptable for a media file – where the tape is not reused and stored in a cool, dry place. Lock the tape, too – and the cassette brand label (entry in the case of bands), with a description the contents of the tape. If you insist on the hard road then you need to get some kind of backup tape or use a RAID array that has the same data in two removed physically different disks. There service consumer Network Attached Storage (NAS) that can do that. The reason for this is the probability of two disks to die while it is lowered for leveling allows data to be more than a storage medium. When a disk dies, replace and data on the drive survivor, is writing the new album …
