"In this clip, I will show you how to prepare your computer for capture. Now, the one thing, to remember, is that when capturing footage, whether it was originally digital or originally analog is that you are going to use the DVD codec. This is like having VHS and going to the digital format. This is a standardized codec and you will be able to use it to capture in any program that you are using, whether, it is Windows Movie Maker, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premier or Apple's Final Cut Pro. The one thing, that it does do, is take up a lot of space. Even though a DVD takes up 4.7 GB, that's compressed footage. The DV codec is also compressed footage, but it is far less compressed. For an hour of footage, it will take up 14 GB of space. So, what you are going to want to do is clean out your hard drive before you capture. That way, while you are capturing, you won't have to deal with running out of space and then having to recapture from the beginning. Also, you can get an external hard drive, like the one shown here, which is what I did. This drive has 500 GB of storage space. I got this in early 2008 for about $130.00, so they are relatively cheap. Hard drive prices are always falling. You can easily pick up one of those, even if it is for a temporary storage, until you convert to DVD. Especially if you have a bunch of tapes, which I know that most of the people that I work with do. So, that's one of the things that you are going to have to do before you start capturing."
