Your computer is too small to handle video. by Kiddpeatwow.. this is so confusing.. should i get a second hard drive?? .. or do i need to get a new computer or something =( ......what is my best bet?? ..then i would need firewire too? ..and the software to do editing?? .. and a dvd burner? wow.. what do i do?? there are just no options?..it seems so easy for everyone else...
Get a Mac!

iDVD will create the DVD from iMovie.
Just make sure you get a mac with the superdrive.
To decide on how big a hard drive to get, keep in mind that every 5 minutes of raw video takes about a gigabyte of space.
Get a Mac!

It's easy for others because they have newer machines.

DVD vs MINI DV.
by jcrobso - 4/8/05 8:32 AM In reply to: DVD vs MINI DV.. student needs help ASAP!! ....what to dO? by onlyandreaAt this point in time the DVD cameras are still lacking in overall quality, maybe next years models will be better. But TODAY Mini DV is still the better choice!!!
You haven't said how much you can spend on a camera, but you PC is on the small size. Her are a coupls of links. John

I'll bet you can't get that on a Mac. A PC will need video
by Kiddpeat - 4/13/05 4:27 PM In reply to: ONE MORE THING! by onlyandreaand audio cards which can feed a signal to a VHS deck plus software which which will send the output signal to the deck..
Yes you can do that on a Mac...
by peestandingup - 8/23/05 10:04 PM In reply to: I'll bet you can't get that on a Mac. A PC will need video by Kiddpeatand its MUCH easier than trying it on a PC. All you need is iMovie, your DV cam & a VCR. Look here: http://www.macworld.com/2004/05/features/fromvhstodvd/index.php
