Moved all of that to an external HDD...but the internal was still full (doesn't help that in the About this Mac under Storage the color coding for Movies and Backups is nearly identical to my eyes). Found out that Time Machine was taking hourly snapshots and it was eating up all my space. Here is the page from Apple about it: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4878?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US]OS X Lion: About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs[/url] Found out how to delete that freed up enough space to put all the video back on the internal and still have more than the 20% free space. If you are running Time Machine regularly then check that out maybe. [/QUOTE]
