You will need a lot more than that, the pvr cuts clips at 3.4GB (standard) i think and so i am guessing that a game is around 6GB? I am not too sure you will have to ask somebody who owns one but i am looking at the moment and these are the kind of responses i am getting

Yeah, the clips are huge!

but what i do is capture at the start of the match and stop capture at the end, which ends up being about 10mins long, and if i done something good in the match id save it, if i didnt do anything id cancel it and i keep doing this till the end of the day, than i just cut the clips and render them all so the files smaller (doing this on dazzle atm)

would this be fine?

You could try that, it is what i do at the moment but if you are like me and record for multiple montages at once then you will have difficulty...

well memory and (hard drive) space is not the same, but from what you are asking i know you mean hard drive space. i have a hd pvr and i use a 250gb hard drive which in my case is more than what i need because i record each game, then stop (creating a clip) and then recording again when i start another game. it depends on how long you want to leave those clips on your hard drive. i trim all the good parts out of those clips and save them in a folder for when i make a montage and delete all of the extra files i don't need and then i make my final video edit and then delete everything after i upload the video. so it all depends on how you do things. i could easily do everything i do now on a much smaller hard drive if i wanted to.

just to be safe ill buy a external hard drive so i can store the clips on there

idk lol
