Question about the Black Magic Capture Card, how many mbs a second does this card record at. Like how big would a 1 minute video of uncompressed footage be.
About 1MB / mintue with JPEG compression turned on, and 5MB / minute with it turned off (raw image files). I can only record with JPEG compression turned on, even with my four hard drive raid 0 array. The quality is high enough that you almost can't tell. I think they recommend 10..15 10,000 RPM hard drives in a raid 0 array in order to record ray 1080p footage...
they recommend a 4 hard drive raid 0 array... which i also recommend as a minimum... faster drives and more drives is better! let me know how it goes!
