I am looking to upgrade my 6 year old desktop and would like to be able to edit HD video and produce both DVD's and Blu-Rays. I will likely use Adobe CS5 assuming I can get a decent upgrade price. In their systems requirements list, they state,
"7200 RPM hard drive for editing compressed video formats; RAID 0 for uncompressed"
I know that HDV is a compressed video format. For typical storm chaser use, is there any requirement to use "uncompressed video formats" to edit HD video and produce Blu-Rays? I currently use HDV tape-based cameras but may eventually upgrade to a tapeless system when my current cameras die. I am hoping not to need a RAID 0 and be able to have larger hard drive space.
