I have a sony HC1 HD camcorder. I want to use it to shoot events where
scenes will last more than one hour, so I can't use tape. So I want to
record direct to disk using Firewire on a Mac. I have a fast LaCie 500
Gb disk.

Now on tape, one hour takes a whole tape, or 13.7 Gb. Will recording to
disk take the same amount of space for 1 hour? I tried capturing through
iMovie, and it seems to be around 30Gb for an hour. Can anyone enlighten
me on this? Why should it take up more room on disk than on tape?
