Here is a PC I'm trying to configure for transferring mini-DV and VHS tapes:
Intel Core i7-3770 Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz
ASUS P8Z77-M LGA 1155 Intel Z77
ASUS ENGTX550 Ti
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
COOLER MASTER HAF 912
CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W
Rosewill PCI to 4x1394 Card Model RC-507
1 x 500(OS/programs)
2 x 1TB
Since storing DV-AVI footage takes up a huge amount of HDD space(10+GB per hour) what is altervative format I can convert the raw footage to?
