Do I need to supply a Hard drive for my movie transfer and if so what size?

A general rule of thumb is if you have more than 100′ of film to transfer to HD or 200′ of film to transfer to SD, you will need an external hard drive or USB flash drive. If you have less than this, the files can be provided to you on data DVDs. These will not play in most DVD decks that are hooked to your TV set and will need to be dragged and dropped to you computer for playing or editing on your computer.  If you like we can supply a brand new hard drive for you but you will likely find better pricing for the drive at another provider.

Please note:  Any used drive provided to us must be reformatted and all previous data on the drive will be eliminated.

          To find out the size of hard drive you’ll need, please refer to this chart:

File Type	Standard Definition (per 50′)	High Definition(per 50′)
MOV	700 MB	1 GB
AVI	1 GB	2.5 GB
