    I'm not sure that dual core is enough. It may take 8 or 16 core to speed things up.

    Hi EdV

    Thanks for your reply, have just upgraded my box to an Intel 3.4Ghz dual core, going to attempt to edit footage captured during 'flying the falls' http://www.flyingthefalls.com and will feed back with the results...

    I am very impressed with your work.

    HDV can be cut together with very little processor overhead and then saved back to HDV. Expect 4-8x processing overhead vs DV when full frame filters or transitions are used. Common practice is to speed effects processing with external render farms.

    The real processing sink comes when encoding HDV to SD or HD Mpeg2/MPeg4. This is where future hardware encoders will become worth their weight in gold. Until then we must let the CPU churn the pixels.
