Could "PTravel" give me the "specs" needed to videotape a 3 hour
production using a laptop? What software and size of hard drive (for
instance) would be needed to go from my Canon GL-1 into the laptop. I
would seriously consider the purchase of a laptop if this is a
solution to by-passing the need to use those 60-63 minute minidv tapes
for those longer productions.
