Digital Heaven Releases Free Videospace Widget For Mac
USB drives and ethernet drives do not have the sustained throughput necessary for editng, especially ProRes, without dropping frames. Firewire 400 is minimal, firewire 800 is good, a single SATA is real good, and stripped SATA raid is even better. Get yourself the free Videospace widget from and you'll never have to ask anyone about how much drive space is taken up by a certain codec again.
Just select the Quicktime codec you want to know about in the dropdown menu in Videospace, type in the running time, and presto, it calculates the hard drive space for you.

Digital Heaven has announced the release of VideoSpace 3.0, a new version of the popular freeware disk space calculator widget for Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro editors. VideoSpace 3.0 adds support for ProRes 422 (Proxy), ProRes 422 (LT) and ProRes 4444 codecs introduced in Final Cut Pro 7. Since its launch in 2005, VideoSpace's easy to use interface has made it the industry standard disk space calculator. By selecting a codec and frame rate then entering the desired duration, VideoSpace calculates how much disk space would be required. It is also possible to calculate in the other direction - by entering the available disk space, VideoSpace will display the corresponding footage duration for the current settings. As well as a dashboard widget, VideoSpace is also available as a web application at VideoSpace Online for both desktop browsers and in a special version for the iPhone and iPod Touch. VideoSpace supports NTSC, PAL and HD formats and a wide variety of codecs including DV, DVCPRO50, DVCPROHD, HDV, XDCAM HD, ProRes and Uncompressed.
