Just wondering if this 60 G hard drive is sufficient to do basic video
editing on a laptop and burn to dvd?

Actually, I didn't. A minor typo on my part. Just wondering if a 60 G 4200
rpm hard drive is fast enough

That depends on the laptop. Please provide specs.

Almost certainly yes but if you wanted to capture you may have problems.

Another possible problem is that Laptops are not always designed to run at
100% CPU for long periods of time and they may overheat, this is very model
specific so may not be a problem but something to bear in mind.

Hope this helps

Andy

although a slow drive like that is not ideal
it should still work, depending on how much ram you have

Everything I have read says 7200 or better.

It should work and do in a pinch, but I wouldn't want to work with it
for too long. Your patience may vary.

You'll notice it. My last laptop had a 5400 RPM drive (as opposed to
the 7200 RPM external I have) and I definitely saw a difference. As to
whether it will work for you, it depends on whether you're going to be
doing a lot of disk-intensive stuff like database-involved apps, etc.

I have a Toshiba S509 P4 2.8 laptop. It has 512 ram and a Gforce to go card.
My HDD is an 80 GB @ 4200 RPM on XP HE and I have done DVD burning, editing
etc.. with no problems.

Editing should not be a problem but have you captured from a DV
firewire camera?? If not try it and you problably see a problem with
dropped frames.

Oops. P4 2.8G (nonhyperthreading), 512 RAM.

Oh no, I haven't done the capture yet from a firewire! That's my
concern, dropped frames , rendering and audio mismatch.
So, with a 4200 rpm drive this will be an issue? Would it help if I
used an external 7200 rpm drive to capture and to and then copy it to
my local h/d and then swap the external drive and install a dvd in the
external case?

Yes it WILL be a problem. Use a 7200rpm drive with at least a 100mhz
FSB IDE controller.(I recommend using a 133mhz controller.) to capture
your video.
Once you have it on a HD you can edit it and burn to DVD no
problem.(Helps to have sufficient buffer rate though.)

The h/d that I would be using is an internal mounted inside an external
USB 2.0 case. I don't know hot to translate the FSB speed to a USB
equivalent. The USB 2.0 is suppose to be fast but I don't know how it
would compare to 100 mhz, but the WD hard drive is ATA 100 only. The
other option may be to do the video capture on a 1.8G Celeron computer
and then remove the drive and hook it up to the USB and transfer it to
the laptop.
