what is the min sized hard drive i would need for capturing vhs??

[Greg12]

depends on several things.

1.) Is their ur primary hard drive or a dedicated capture drive?

2.) Are you capturing compressed avi, uncompressed avi, or MPEG.

I'd say no less that 20-40

I'd say 60-80gigs.

Make sure u get 7200 RPM's or u might have frame dropping problems.

Laptop user? I have never seen a 7200RPM laptop.
