I'm just starting to get into DV capture and editing...and it is surprising
me how much data there is.  It's 14G for a hour of DV...

The data is actually 25M bytes/sec of raw DV data...they get a 5x
compression, so it ends up being 5M bytes/sec...but still, that's a lot of
data over time.

Just FYI, on my dual Pentium 733 w/ 512M memory, it takes almost an hour to
MPEG 2 encode 3 minutes of video!  It reduces it to 131M bytes though ;-/
