SECTION 3 – EXTERNAL STORAGE DEVICES.

As mentioned earlier, digital videos take up a tremendous amount of space

and unless you have massive hard disc capacity in your machine, you really

need to be thinking about recording the ‘finished product’ onto something

external such as a large external hard drive or media such as tape, CD or

DVD.

OPTION 1 – THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE.

Nowadays, it’s possible to buy exceptionally large hard drives which can be

carried around from computer to computer and connected as required by a

Firewire or USB2 lead. In a school situation, eg, it might be possible to pass

around a portable hard drive to use while editing video. Individual teachers

might also want to take some footage home for editing when they get a bit

more time!

Remember that (apart from Firewire) nothing will be fast enough for video

transfer apart from USB2 . Although it WILL work, ‘ordinary’ USB1 won’t

be fast enough. This means that you either have to have a machine with

USB2 sockets already fitted or add a card.

PCI card. (This would normally be

fitted to a desktop PC.)

already have USB2 sockets.)
