Ive been capturing my 1st few hours of 1080i 50 HD videos and per hour its coming out about 45GB? I was under the impression it was 300 or 400GB; im using cineform 4 with adobe premiere 1.5.1.

Is that about right?

Well, the Native HDV codec is about 11.25 GB per hour, just a bit less then normal DV.

That sounds about right for Cineform. About 100mbps on the video (and basically with the audio too). Uncompressed 16bit 48khz audio is about 1.5mbps.
