I have a Macbook Pro and want to capture video from my camera but put it directly on an external harddrive. I was wondering if there are better harddrives to do this with or not. Will frames be lost by the video going into the camera then coming back out thru usb? Just wondering what the best setup would be to do this and if you could recommend any external hard drives would be great. Thanks.

The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I would go with any HD you can afford provided that it is large, and has fw800
