What I have always done with capturing MiniDV video to my computer is to capture it in DV format (1 hour is from 11-14 GB
), transcode it to DivX (1 hour is usually between 800 MB and 1.5 GB, depending on original quality and randomness of video), and delete the original video. You could probably transcode to mp4 instead if you wanted too, just as long as the quality stays near the same. This method especially helps when needing to capture 15+ tapes for a video project
