Hi there,
I wonder if somebody could advise me?. I need to transfer about two hours of footage onto my hard drive in order to edit it into smaller clips. It was a filmed using a Sony DSR200 DV camera with a firewire output. I wonder if somebody could tell me what is the best format for capturing this footage into VV3? The guy who did the filming (it is live band of footage) is planning on coming up to my place to do the transfer. I am presuming that the native file format of the camera is AVI am I correct? Do I have to capture it in AVI format first or is there another codec someone can recommend? Space is not a problem as I am planning on getting two 80gig Seagate 7200 hard drives and using them in a Raid 0 configuration.Also is there a reference somewhere which compares different codecs and the relative size of the files created. For example I know that with audio one minute of 16 bit 44.1khz uses 10 megabytes. So I would be interested find out similar formulas with regard to video.
Many thanks
