Hello all,
I just bought a WD 500 GB external HD so that I can store some digital video for the museum I work at. It looks like (with Mac that I am using) I can upload about 5 mins of video, stop and then transfer it to the HD. I don't like it, but that is all the computer seems to be able to handle. I am using a 'Blueberry' G-4 type Mac tower with 1.9GB HD and 500 MB of ram.
I am using firewire 400 cable and it take about 30 minutes to trans that 5 min. vieo segment. So I have two questions:
1) Is there a faster way to do this or am I stuck with the ram limitations?
2) Could I hook the camera straight into the ext. HD for the transfer? Or does it have to got through the computer and iMovie first?
Thanks,
Mike
