with jit.qt.record. I’m hitting the 4gb limit after about 2 minutes
(640×460). Due to the way the video is generated, it never looks exactly the
same, so I need to record in one pass. I’m thinking about using multiple
instances of jit.qt.record, switching between them while recording, but I
doubt if this is the best solution.

probably fat32. A HD fomatted as ntfs does not have that limit. (it
does have a limit, but that’s way higher than 4 gb)

I made an eight minute
recording at 720×480, 29.97 FPS DV. It came to just over 1 GB. I’m on a G5
with 4GB RAM OSX 10.4.7. My disks are formatted HFS journaled.

like the quality control. but maybe I better use a codec right away. Using
ntfs is a solution, but my biggest hd is formatted as fat32 for mac
compatibility. I just have to think about what’s practical.

Uncompressed video takes around 2Gb per minute, which would around
4Gb for the two minute test Thijs’ made.
DV takes up roughly 220 Mb per minute so that sort of fits with your
8 minutes.
