Yeah, when I used to capture through Sony DV Gate, it would take 1 GB for
about 5 minutes of video. However, when I'm capturing through Movie Maker,
it takes up much less room. I used to have a Sony VAIO, which had a
partioned hard drive. I now have a new laptop without the partition. Do you
think that there's an issue with using a laptop?
