Depending on the video editing software (like adobe premiere), you can log your in and out points from the raw video tapes to a very small data log file. With this log file you can resore your video project automatiically any time in the future so you don't have to waste so much hard drive space. The process is automatc after the in and out points are logged.
If you are really paranoid you can make a backup copy of your original dv tape and store it in a safety deposit box.
if you want to store ideas when you are out and about just get a small voice recorder. They are cheap and can store information fasther than you can type on a small keyboard. If you have a good voice recorder you can use a speech to text engine to convert it to text when you get back home.
