I have a hp computer that is running windows xp. I want to use it to edit HD video with Pinnacle Studio Ultimate. Most people and the instruction manual to the program recommend getting an external hard drive for the video editing. What attributes to the hard drive are typically recommended? Are there any particular brands that are best for this task? Thanks in advance.

Answer
For video editing, You should get a high capacity harddrive. Now in market already selling Terabyte HDD. You also should look for external HDD with external Casing supporting firewire. This help in terms of speed. Of course your computer must support firewire too. I prefer seagate HDD.

Are there consequences to compressing files on an external hard drive? What if theyre music or video files?

I'm trying to move my files to an external hard drive so that I can reformat my laptop? Do I risk anything by compressing them to fit on the external hard drive? What about music and video files? Will they lose their quality at all?

HI

I'M RAMIZ

you want to format your computer to have better system performance

you can put all your files on d: for example

and format only the system drive normaly it's C:

but if you need an fdisk because you have viruses you need to back up
and it's not recomended to compress your files but you can alwayes use a DVD writer to take a backup of your files each dvd contain from 4.7 to 7 giga

so backup your files to dvds and hard drive

if you still need space buy more dvd and this the best way

each dvd cost about 1 usd
a new hard drive with 1024 giga = i tira cost about 130 usd
