Best way preserving your MTS footage on a Hard Drive
Hi all ,
I am just wondering what it everyones approach in archiving your footage
to a hard drive using sony vegas…, what I’m trying to accomplish is to save my videos in 1920 x 1080 res with good quality and low size in memory,
I have been having quite a success with rendering to XVID….,
Just wondering what solution people choose when dealing with HD content..,
Myself I was able to burn some content of my hd xvid compression to reg DVDs and it looks great.
Please post if you don’t mind sharing your solution.Thanks,
Cheers all !

Spin hard drives are so cheap right now. You can buy a Thermaltake BlackX external USB drive for maybe $20-30.00, and then get Seagate 1TB drives for less than $100.00. When that gets full (maybe 90 tapes later) you can store that hard drive in a Wiebetech anti-stat case, and pop in another 1TB hard drive (which will probably cost even less by then).
Three hours of AVCHD takes 32 GB on my Canon HF S10. One can put a total of 31 (each) three-hour takes on a 1TB drive, in the original .m2ts format. Or even once you convert to Cineform .avi you can still archive your whole project. Spin hdd cost is down, and continues to go down. It is ridiculously cheap, compared to all of the other components. Some guys make two copies.
I hope that helps.
