There are many HD formats and compression schemes, so the size
could vary widely. I think you are asking specifically about HDV, which
is a High Definition variant of DV. I believe that the tape, and data-rate
are the same as DV. That being true, then the disk space requirement
would be the same as for DV.
If you are going to edit it, then the question becomes more complicated.
HDV adds complexity to editing, from a programming standpoint.
Many people prefer to convert the HDV file to a less compressed format
for editing, and this makes for much bigger files.
