As to whether it will work for you, it depends on whether you're going to be doing a lot of disk-intensive stuff like database-involved apps, etc. That depends on the laptop. Please provide specs.

In theory a 7200 rpm disk can perform less than a 4200 rpm, density of the data on the disk plays a role. Probably every modern laptop disk drive can sustain the data rate for DV (appr. 3.5 MB/s). I have a Toshiba S509 P4 2.8 laptop. It has 512 ram and a Gforce to go card.
My HDD is an 80 GB @ 4200 RPM on XP HE and I have done DVD burning, editing etc.. with no problems. ray "Mark" <n***@none.com> wrote in message news:LN6yd.540623$Pl.538215@pd7tw1no...Show quote > Just wondering if this 60 G hard drive is sufficient to do basic video > editing on a laptop and burn to dvd? >

It couldn't hurt to give it a try. ATA 100 is adequate for miniDV capture.(I've used ATA 100 in the past with only a rare frame drop or two. It IS considered the bare minimum though and is dependent on a adequate buffer rate.) I use a Maxtor 80gig super ATA 133 drive with 8mb of buffer for my pimary capture drive. I also have a Seagate barracuda ATA IV drive that I use for backup once I have the video captured. I believve the Seagate is just ATA 100. DMA5 vs. the DMA6 that the Maxtor is.) Check and see what amount of buffer you have on that WD, I'm thinking it should be at least 4mb, which should be enough. I've found it also helps to have lots of ram. My setup initially had 512mb which made for a very slow go and resulted in occasional locks/crashes. When I upgraded to a gig it really helped my capture process. You can use that 1.8 celeron and do a drive swap though it'd be a big hassle. If you're running SB 2.0 on your main machine and your software supports USB capture devices you should have enough.( Years ago I was using a PII 650mhz with just 256mb of ram to do analog capture and I got by even though it was slow going so you should have enough with your current rig to do DV.) My main rig is a 1.3gig Athalon with 1gig of ram running win2kpro and it gets the job done. Will USB capture capture the audio and video like firewire?

Keep in mind, when there were no 10000 7200 5400 drives made, video editing
was being done!!!!!! Dropped frames was/is directly related to the codec in which you use. Syncing sound has everything to do with your soundcards internal clock rather than a harddrive speed.

frames from a Mini DV carmera capture. Have you tried it? I have and using a Pinnacle it will not even pass the drive to capture from 2 Sony and 1 Canon DV camcorders and even a 5400 rpm is marginal and if you do try to capure there is a lot of dropped frames and the 4200 is a mess. Assuming xp pro is a brain dead OS then you have to get a reality check. I assume you are a MAC user.

Some NEC Firewire chipsets could not sustain uninterrupted data streaming. This was mostly experienced when "printing to tape" (outputting DV to camera). But it also affected capture. Another thing is to make sure that your Firewire device does not share interrupt with other devices if possible. It's hard to tweak in Windows 2000/XP (it typically assigns interrupts automatically). But at least check if there is sharing and with which devices (sharing with modem or wireless is OK, for instance, since you are not using these devices during DV capture).

Well... 1 hour of full-size, full-framerate DV is about 10GB, which means about 2800 kBps ("B" here means byte). The 10GB, 4200rpm HDD in my old 700MHz P3 laptop can read and write at about 12000 kBps (tested with Nero). I would hence say thay you most likely won'tr run into any dropped-frame problem. That's theory. In practice, I made some short DV captures (due to the HDD size, I could not capture a whole tape), and noticed some sort of loss of "smoothness" on the DV material reversed back on tape. Anyway, I am more keen to think that this could be caused by the DV codec, rather than by the Hard Disk. Anyway, just a couple of weeks ago, I have replaced that HDD with a very silent, 80GB, 5400rpm Samsung drive with 8MB cache as opposed to the mere 128kB of the other, and let me tell you that the leap in performance was really amazing. It is like I had replaced the processor with a 1.5GHz one. So ultimately, If you have the chance of choosing, don't hesitate and go for a 5400rpm drive with a lot of cache. I am 100% sure that you won't be disappointed. Imagine what a 7200 rpm would do also. There are 10000 rpm advailable

I've still got a number of older 3chip broadcast cameras and would like to setup a HD recorder to use with them.(The available commercial HD recorders are out of my price range as well.) I've been wondering what it would take hardware wise to construct a HD video recorder.(I have in the past used a small tower with a DV capture card and a portable power generator for location work but that can be a real hassle.)

And for another thing virtually ALL DV capture is done via Firewire.(Or if you have the newer systems with usb 2.0 and supporting software that option.) I have several DV capture software packages and ALL first run a system check to assertain HD speed. If you try it with a 4200 HD you won't even get the software to intiate a capture. I worked in film and video production for longer than you've been around whereas you sound if you've done nothing but theoretical work, and not too long at that. But, HEY, don't believe me. Go out and invest a bit in a DV capture card and give it a try with your 4200 drive. none <Vampy***@nettaxi.com> writes:

The bit density also matters. A 4200 rpm, 80 gb drive will transfer faster than a 7200 rpm, 40 gb drive with the same number of tracks.

Also what file format are capturing. There is a heck of lot difference from MPEG1, and quality DVD quality capture. At least explain what you are using presently with a 4200 rpm drive.

your ignorance is only exceeded by your desire to express it. DMA not working? why would that be a 'drive' problem? That is an improperly install OS or the IDE drivers.

However, take a look here: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/4k40/4k40.htm this is the first page I looked at after googling for 4200 rpm hard disks. You'll notice on the specs that the transfer rate is quoted as 370Mb/sec. That equals 46.25MB/sec. Even allowing for your strange DV transfer rates of "4.5 to 5 mbps (!)", that is a factor of 10 times the needed transfer rate. > I worked in film and video production for longer than you've been so you can work a clapper board....> around > whereas you sound if you've done nothing but theoretical work, wrong> and not too long at that. > But, HEY, don't believe me.
