View Full Version : PC For Editing HDV

I just got my HV20 a few days ago and so far, from what I can tell, the camera is great.

I've got Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8 but I can't get it to load on my Acer computer...which has the evil Vista brain installed on it. No biggy. I was planning on keeping this computer for surfing the net because it's not resourced enough for editing HDV.

Can someone recommend where to get a decent computer for editing? I know it needs to have Windows XP on it.

A lot of people recommend buidling one yourself but that is beyond my experience or patience. Are there any places online that sell a HDV specialized computer? I'm not even sure exactly what specs to look for. Dual core? Quad core? Intel or Athlon? Which version of XP?

Any help would be appreciated.
