Video capture takes up loads of space as you have not doubt found out. 10gb
is only about 45 mins of dv-avi video.
If you are serious about video editing and don't want to have to use the
compressed wmv format for capturing, I'd suggest a seperate hdd for
capturing to, maybe an external firewire one. As you save to the same hdd as
the O/S, you have the pc trying to read and write at the same time to the
disc, which isn't good when you are trying to input lots of data.
