We record on a Pinnacle Micro RC1000 almost on a daily basis. According to their techs and numerous tests on our own with failed recordings, the consistent safe number is 630mb. This is a variable number in that several large image files would need little directory "overhead" and you could get away with 650mb. However backing up a hard drive with thousands of files needs a great deal more directory "overhead".
