    I'm about to buy the Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge. I'm using it to take VHS to VCD. How much space on my HD will a 1-hr show require if it is in stereo?

    Thanks for the info

    shortwave7,

    13GB per hour is just for the original DV file(s). If you are going to re-encode to S/VCD or DVD you need extra space for the intermediate files and the final file. And thats just for ONE HOUR. I have a 60GB drive that holds nothing but video stuff (miniDV camera conversions).

    With the price of storage dropping fast I would go out and scarf up a second (or third) drive. It will also help keep your performance up since you won't be clogging you main drive with files that are large and temporary.
