What do you do with old footage? Old footage... stuff you're likely not to really ever use again. Do you back it up? Place it in some obscure/out of the way folder on your massive hard drive? Save them to dvd? Or do you just delete and move on? I've just been storing them on my hard drive, but it's starting to fill up, so I'm looking for a better solution (pref. one that doesn't require me going out and purchasing a new drive). Currently considering DVDs, as I've got a bunch laying around, but once I run out those will be expensive... so, I guess I'm just looking for ideas. I'm kind of a pack rat when it comes to old footage. I like saving it. This philosophy was put into conflict, though, when my hard drive was nearing capacity. I was forced to start deleting stuff I had already edited and backing up stuff I planned to edit on a later date. (I backed them up on a Seagate external harddrive.) Now, I've upgraded to a laptop with 1 terabyte of memory, so I won't have to worry about that nonsense for a while...
