Backing up HD movies to an external hardrive

[macpappy]

Carlos,
As insane as this may sound, look for an Apple retail store near you (There is probably two or three in the Miami area). You can call them and tell them what you want to do and they will quote you a price to go in and replace the hard drive and upgrade the memory. They will probably even do it while you wait.

edit: There is one in Boca Raton.
