each one.
Important
Video files may require a significant
amount of free hard drive space
depending on your settings. A one hour
tape may require more than 10GB of
hard drive space for storage with
additional space required for editing.
When you reach the final screen, Windows Movie Maker rewinds the video
tape in your camera and captures it onto your hard drive.
