lots and lots and lots of harddrive space hehe. in fact you'll probably end up with at least a couple external harddrives. we use a PC to encode and do all the digitizing work and what not at our office. a top of the line Dell. and in the process of running through a single movie we can use up well over a couple hundred GBs. now once we have the file complete and upload it and then create backup copies, we can clear it off the harddrive. but in the meantime, that one file takes up all the space.

or at least did until we got some huge external HDs for it
