  How much drive space do I need for 10 tapes

  Posted by Pierre on May 28, 2007 at 5:24 pm

  I just shot a short hd varicam narrative.
  We shot Ten “FujiFilm DP-121 DVC-PRO Tapes- 126”
  I’m trying to figure out how much drive space I need to get.
  I was thinking of a 500 gig drive (and an additional for backup).
  this is for an “offline” edit. I would like to capture the highest possible quality that a LaCie or G-Raid firewire 800 can handle.
  Any advice?
  thnaks,
  Michael

  Will you be posting on a Final Cut Pro system with a Panasonic 1400 or 1200a deck via firewire?

  There are three types of people in this world, those that can count and those that can’t.

  I’m not sure the deck model.
  But I know it’s DVC-PRO HD/Panasonic and has a firewire out.
  I don’t need to capture “uncompressed” as my drives are only FW 800
