Ok so not to bad maybe 3gbs or alittle over total for all 6 or 7 reels.

The editing is an undertaking for sure and I know I am still an amature at it. Trimming the files to bring the reels together at the correct spot for synching is really where I fall short as I just don't have the experience. Hell, if I could synch 1 reel at a time to video it would probably make it a bit easier but I don't believe it can be done that way.

As for video size, if the HD-DVD is a 30GB disc, the Bluray is a 25GB disc, and the transfers are the same it wouldn't matter which you use as long as you had hardware support for both when ripping the video, right?
