harley: Do you have an option to 'write at once', or something similar? So it doesn't use any space on your hard drive?

Hi Harley. I've tried to do that .... but it hasn't worked. I blundered yesterday .... I had trimmed the video to 15 minutes from 60 mins but had left one file ... which made it think it was still 60 mins. That will teach me to work on wine ;-) But it still doesn't solve the issue. When rendering, it seems to think that a 1gb file is 10gb (or something like that). Weird.

Incidentally, I bough an external hard drive - the Iomega plug and play - it is small enough to carry in my back pocket! Amazing. But it runs on USB2 and I only have USB 1.1 ... so it is slowwwwwwwwwww.

Time for a new computer???
