Myself, I just updated Vista to SP2, and updated my video drivers. And I’m hoping that will trim some time off the 4 hour job.
Maybe PS can do the job, but I’ve never tried the video editing. Guess I could see if it can edit this 11 gigs TRP with it… I have 2 terabytes of drive space, so a big swap file is possible. And I learned that everything over 2 gigs is just flash on a 32 bit machine. So I stopped at 2 gigs.
I also use Nero 6. All versions after that were just bloat.
well here’s what I’ve found. PS isn’t really designed for video. It can do MOV, and GIF. That’s not really video. more like animation. Yeah, yeah MOV is video. But the number of editors available for MOV are rare.
I’d say if video mpg, avi, mov, trp, ts, etc.. is your goal. You should look at software dedicated to video editing. PS isn’t..
There’s a FREE program ‘virtualdub’ & virtualdubmod’ you should get them both. But dubmod is the newer version, and does a bit more than the original. There’s NO SUPPORT. There are several web sites, but they haven’t been touched in years. I don’t always use them. But when all else fails, these are the walgreens of apps. No help file. it’s hunt & peck trial & error unless you understand the terms used in the menus.
As for all my updates, that 11 gig file is still going to take 4 hours to compile into an avi without commercials.
Vista HP SP2, 2 gigs ram, dual core 2.8 ghz. 2 tera bytes drive space.
It actually rocks. You might also add XCPU.COM if you intend to do video and multitask.
You can google for all the files I mentioned above. XCPU allows you to free up one of the CPU’s so you aren’t dragged down to waiting for one task to finish. Separate CPU’s is almost mandatory for multitasking and video editing.
ie: Want to turn your machine back into a C= 64 at 16 mhz ? Get ahold of Seti, and don’t assign it to any specific CPU.
You’ll need task manager to break out of seti if you do. It’ll grab 100% of both CPU’s.. And it’ll probably take 5 minutes for task manager to appear, another 5 minutes to locate seti and disable it, and another 5 minutes until alls back to 2.8 ghz..
