Digital Video How much my MacBook Pro can handle?

Recent MacBook Pro and I am thinking of transferring video from my camcorder (MiniDV tape) to my Mac How much can I plan the load on the computer without running out of space and seriously slow down your computer?

dgey is absolutely correct ... but technicals: 1) You do not tell us how much space on your hard disk is Thet internal drive - you should never allow that any internal hard disk or external if start-up - receives less than 20% free space. This is not specific to Macintosh - this is any team. 2) Since not be stored in the internal drive, above the information (of available hard disk space) does not matter for video saving activity, but to determine the size of your hard external hard drive - not told that the camcorder is using. Video cameras are MiniDV tape based DV - only standard definition (including 4:3 and 16:9) or as an Elura Canon ZR series, Sony DCR-HC series or series Panasonic PV-GS ... or DV / HDV and the Canon HV series or Sony HDR-HC series ... Sixty minutes of standard definition - video DV format - when imported into the hard drive of a computer will use 13-14 GB of hard disk space. Sixty minutes of high definition - HDV format video - used about 44 gig of space on computer hard disk. By compressing the video file (to make it smaller) to be the discarding of data and, potentially, degrade video quality. Do not compress this video ... That should be the last step after video editing is complete. And the miniDV tape is a better file of the hard drive - the external hard drive is good for backups, but not archived. The MiniDV tape is a digital format that is acceptable for the media media file - where the tape is not reused and kept in a cool, dry place. Lock the tape, too - and check the label tapes (wine in the If the tape) with a description of the contents of the tape. If you insist on going the route of the hard drive, then you need to either get some kind of backup tape or use of a RAID array that has the same data in stripes on two different physical drives. There are degrees of consumer Network Attached Storage (NAS) that can do this. The reason for this is the possibility that both drives dying at the same time are slim so the raid allows more data in a storage medium. When a disk dies, replace it and the surviving drive data is written to the new disk ...
