Video card for HDV
Do I need to have a specific video card for editing HDV? I tried to dump some HDV tape from my FX7 onto my laptop and it mentions something about my videocard. If this is the issue, how can I find out what kind of video card I have?

If you're using Windows, Device Manager should be able to tell you.
You should go to the website of your NLE to find the minimum card they recommend. |

Adam is basically correct but I'll say this..
#1) IF you are trying edit on your laptop, there will be no option to "upgrade" the video card in this. #2) I am aware of no NLE video editing software that reccomends or requires s certain level of video card to playback HDV. Just about any card *should* do it just fine. With that said, the 8600GT/GTS series of video cards from NVidia are fine overall video processing cards and have lots of hardware assisted playback features to ease the burden on your CPU. Jon |
