I've been building a PC over the last few months that I want to use for editing HD video, mainly for YouTube. This is for my work to create information and instructional short films. I've also been setting up a permanent studio with the correct lighting/screens etc as I will be making videos most days. There's a thread on my build Here.
For the camera I will be using a Canon 600d with an external mic and was thinking of recording directly on the PC by using a Blackmagic Intensity Pro HDMI capture card.
The questions I could really do with some help on are:
1. Is it a good idea to record directly onto the PC using the capture card?
2. Is the Blackmagic a good choice?
3. What hard drive set up would you recommend?
I don't need much in the way of back up as once this PC is (eventually) finished I'm going to build a home server.
Any help really appreciated.
