MiniDV transfer to hard drive

    I have the task ahead of me of transferring over 100 miniDV tapes to a hard drive.

    I’m dreading it because I know that there is a lot of unusable footage (camera pointing at the floor, etc.), that it is going to take forever and in the end I have no idea who will watch any of it even after I edit it. :(

    I’ve searched google and it claims one miniDV tapes would occupy 11 gigabytes of a hard drive. Is that correct ? Would it be the same on an iMac as in a windows computer? Would a tape set the record “long play” take more space?

    I would be connecting the old camcorder to my iMac by a FireWire cable and each tape will take 60 or 90 minutes to copy. Is there a faster way with this or other equipment?

    Cheers
