That sounds like a good healthy amount of storage :-D. I think there's probably a charm in cutting negatives (did a very very small amount of that with Super8 ciné films) but it gets boring very quickly. You really feel a sense of acheivement though, having done it all with a cutting block and splicing tape... -Fruey 2 Terabytes…! That sounds like a good healthy amount of storage :-D .

The space it takes is mind blowing but then again so is how small storage is getting. If I had to actually cut negatives I don't think I would ever have gotten into editing. I'm way too impatient for that! Yep - I’m investing soon in a 2 Terabyte tower to give me some breathing room - for now at least.

I shot amateur movies when I was in my teens, moving up to SVHS at university on a student project. Digital would have been great at that time, would have saved us money on editing! Digital is the way to go, but I bet storage requirements will keep on going up as we all move to HD (1920 x 1080) and higher (4096 x 2160 for 4D <a href="/2005/08/01/cinema-to-go-digital/" rel="nofollow">cinema spec</a>) which will eat up hard drive space at about 300GB per movie, possibly more if uncompressed ready for linear editing, including all shots... :-) -Fruey Hi Carrster,

I'm digital all the way. I love editing digitally and storing things on hard drives and CDs or DVDs. I'm soon going HD and getting a massive storage unit which will hopefully last me for many years....ya never know though with technology. Happy Holidays!:) VHS is a pain in the butt for me.
