Hi,
I have a 100GB HDD in my sony vaio laptop (vgn-fe550g) and have edited video onto DVD through Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 without any issues. However, I am now running out of space because for my second DVD project I have a lot more video footage. Do you think I will experience any issues if I hook up an external hard drive and work with my video from there? I will be hooking it up via USB 2.0. Thanks!
Answer
Yes you can. It might be a bit slower, depending on the USB connection and how many other devices are using the same USB bus. One thing which may help. Move 20GB from your HD to the external drive, then use the two drives together for the video projects. Capture the main files to the external while using the internal for "cache" or temporary files. When you read from one and write to another you will see a net gain in performance, like when you are rendering a DVD stream from edited footage.

What is the best portable 500gb external hard drive for HD video editing?
Q. I have a Macbook Pro i7 and I need a portable harddrive that will keep up with my video editing so I don't drop any frames. I don't know if there is a big difference between a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Pro 500GB USB 2.0 7200 rpm vs LACIE Rugged 500GB 7200 RPM USB Firewire 800. Any ideas or suggestions?
Answer
Go Firewire. It will have at least twice the data throughput rate as the USB 2.0 drive. RPM has little effect on external drives, as the data interface (USB or Firewire) is almost always the limiting factor.
