A1 users editing systems specs?

That's good to know Bill. I have never used compressor for encoding and have just let DVD studio pro do all the work. I also have Telestream's "Episode" conversion software that I am going to test for QT to mpeg2.

All in all, the transition to HDV for me has been pretty seemless with the new tools I have.

Whats working for folks and not working. I use a PC but I am also curious about MAC systems as well.

thanks

Don't forget to look into Edius NX for HDV with expansion kit, it will do all format of HDV, it will give you full frame full component HD realtime output to your HD monitor, the faster your computer the more realtime layers and effects you will get,

No one using Avid (Pinnacle) Liquid then?

I may be miles off here (apologies if I am)

My understanding is with Sony Vegas and the VAAST Gearshift plug in, you can edit HDV using proxies which means that even older slower PC's can handle it.
