The nature of video is Large files.
There isnt really any way of taking video from a camera and retaining good quality without taking up huge amounts of space. What i'd recommend is to ask your parents very nicely to buy a second hardrive just for your video stuff - or maybe you could save up and buy one yourself.
I have a shelf of Hard drives. Projects i work on can consist of 300+ GB of video alone. When i finish a project i take the disc out, lael it and put it on the shelf as an archive. I do this professionally and so i can add these costs into my invoices but i thought i'd tell you so you can appreciate that media does take up lots of space.
