whether one burns a dvd consising of video footage.....set-up 1
a1)Source:coming from an external hard drive connected to a firewire port
a2)Destination:to an external dvd burner connected to a second firewire port on the same computer.
as opposed to:set-up 2
b)burning it with both an internal hard drive and and internal dvd burner?
I'm wondering about frame drop outs in the final product or just maybe the thing just locks-up & freezes midstream during the burning process because my cpu/system is only 2.6 ghz with 256 megs of ram.
Or there any pros and cons in either of the above set-ups or something to be considering before I buy both an external hard drive and an exteral dvd burner?
The reason for this request is all of the disk drive bays on my computer are presently occupied.My onboard drive is too small (it's needed for audio/music)
and the onboard dvd-drive is only a player.
Just trying to become better educated and not to end up with 2 more peices of gear which I may become unhappy with as I want to do it right the first time.
Thanks for any input,experience,suggestions or advice offered.
