Videoshop runs fine on a 7500/100. Of course, the faster the better - you might want to capture the video to an external drive and then do the editing on the 6400.

I don't really remember how the compression in Videoshop works - it's basically a frontend for Quicktime, so if you use the newest version of QT you'll have access to more & better codecs. I've experimented with 7500s and video capture quite a bit - it's actually part of my job  and I've found it usually works better if you use BTV Pro (http://www.bensoftware.com/) to capture the video and then just import it into Vidoshop, as BTV can compress the video in real-time, even on a slow machine like the 7500. Other programs seem to have trouble doing that.

As for hard drive size, I was handling 15 minute videos using a pair of 2 GB scratch drives @ 320x240, uncompressed. The moral of the story -compress your video.  Or, get a montrous hard drive. Check out eshop.macsales.com. 9 GBs minimum. You can fit a couple hours of video on a 2 GB drive using BTV Pro.
