You'll probably need some software of some description.

Okay, I've narrowed my camcorder search down to two. One has a 80gb HDD and claims "up to" 33 hours The other has a 120gb HDD and claims "up to" 50 hours. Obviously this "up to " estimates are complete crap as I want to use the highest possible quality settings for HD so the things I film look good. How long can hard drives of that size record the highest quality HD for ? The cameras are both Sony. Thanks in advance. |

“Up To” usually means that if you have the camera in low quality settings, you will get the stated figure. I was looking for a small video camera to put in my pocket, and I found the manual online. I think that Sony’s site may well have them, so if you dig around or Google the model name(s) and the word manual, you should find what you are looking for. The camera I ended up with does about an hour on HQ, but that’s standard definition with the 4GB on board memory. |

If the camera stores video in AVC, considering a dual-layer Blu-ray disc is around 50gb, that will give you about 2.5 hours or more at 1080p for a studio release... |

I have a compact camera (Samsung WB500) that records at H.264(MPEG4.AVC) 1280x720 30fps. An 8Gb card holds a maximum of approx 1hr8min. |

If you consider that a 25GB Blu-Ray disc holds 2-3 hours of film, an 80GB drive at full HD will hold about 6 hours. |

Just got the new camcorder today. Now all I have to do it work out how to cut a film together from lots of short clips and how to add music. |

Basic joining clips and adding transations and music can be done with MS Movie Maker, whatever its called, free with XP. I once made quite a good film of a few peeps on the bikes in Sherwood Pines with a Kings of Leon/Daft Punk soundtrack. I dont know about HD support though. |

Don' think Movie Maker supports high definition formats - you need support for AVCHD. Some programs reviewed here. |

As your camera is a Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 is worth a look. It also supports Blu-ray (and DVD) burning out of the box which is a useful extra. |
