I need a great video editing program and system to run it.

I see what you mean now didn't realize they were 512mb each. Thought they were 2x1gb

yea woops

 

[trt740]

Adobe, what program are you going be using?

I figured that out. After a few

 

[trt740]

yea woops

it shouldn't slow the rendering down too much I would rather have the faster cpu. Xp runs pretty fast on 1 gb of ram. Maybe someone has some olds sticks of DDr2 800 laying 2x512mb they could donate. I cannot afford to donate more than 100.00 beans.

already ordered the 2x512mb by accident and it was already shipped. So I need 2x512mb of DDR2 800. How bad is that gonna hurt performance. Remember this is not a gaming system. Called the egg they want me to refuse the whole shebang and reorder now how stupid is that. If I don't I have to pay to ship the ram back. Time to order some ram.

that will of coarse hurt your performance. but since encoding in more cpu demand then anything. are you wanting to get another 2x512mb or switch for 2x1gb.

Okay was able to return the 512mb x2 kit and get 1mbx2 kit plus my pastor purchase vista ultimate addition for like 90.00 and it seems to run okay on 2gb of ram.

When you take a video camera then hook it to your system , say after you video taped something to be converted to a DVD, for a DVD type movie presentation or the other way around. How much rendering does the GPU do and will say a 6400+ and 4 gb of memory help pick up the slack. I added a total of 4 gb to this vista ultima system and vista flys. The onboard video card is a ati x1250 with 512mb systems ram allocated to it,and vista rates it at about a 3.7. The Cpu is rated at 5.8, ram at 5.9, with 3.5gb allocated to system, hardrive 5.9 160gb .I'm wondering how this will effect rendering and encoding. This onboard video card supports hybrid crossfire or surroundview. It seems about as fast as a x6800 was from geforce in benches and rendering. I was thinking of running a 3650 in hybrid crossfire it help speed it up. no games are being played on this just video editing and movie making. Here are some conversion tables and a review on the motherboard and video card. money is a issue here. http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTM4MCw1LCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA== Do you think this will be okay.

here was the final build but I added 2.g more of ram, and it was built about 3 weeks ago.

Your GPU won't be doing any rendering. Only FireGL and such do actual video rendering. Which in your case all you need is a good CPU and atleast 2gb of Ram the more the better. How long is it wanting to take?

 

[pepsi71ocean]

video editing requires raw CPU power combind with ram because its rendered by the program if i rememebr correctly. i built my rig specifically for video editing.

EDIT: if your using vista ultimate i would put in between 4 and 6GB's of ram what ever you can get a hold of. you should ger that +6400 up to 3.2+GHz and it will help speed things up. Also wider bandwidth between your cpu and ram i found works as well.

It up and running vista flys , not sure what it will take. We spent the day getting the bugs out, setting up two monitors , getting networking etc set up and loading adobe c3. I was just wondering how the 6400+ will do, so how much of the systems ram 4gb should I allocate to the video card. It goes from 64mb to 1gb, and is it more important that the cpu have the memory.

edit: Nevermind, you posted above CS3. Don't worry about no more than 4gb. In till CS4 comes out.

that program cs3, costs 1000.00 (he got everything) and Vista ultima he got for 90.00(crazy price) So we will never use cs4 on our budget, after spending that. He also bought a 500gb external HD so he could move it aroound from home to church and DVR etc.

Then in that case, 4gb is your best bet. Don't worry about anymore than that.

I wouldn't do no more than 512mb. Remember CS3 is only a 32bit programs so it's limit of ram is only 3.25Gb. So having anymore than that is just a waste for now. But anyway, that will live you 3584mb total between windows and CS3. So 256mb might be even better. You just want to have atleast 256mb, for video preview.

so you think hybrid crossfire for now is a waste? This little onboard video card is kinda cool. It will do DVI/VGA two monitors, svideo , digital tv and HDI/ Video and sound. I was shock how well vista run on this bad boy aswell. The 6400+ is a very good multitasker and vista works well with it.

For video editing yeah it will be a waste. But yeah always wonder how well those boards work. I was thinking about get one to just goof around on. But I your on budget for the computer, but if you ever need more performance. The best thing would be a phenom. If you can do AM2+. Have you tried rendering yet?

Not yet. I did burn a dvd and it took about 30 minutes from DVD to hardrive and back to DVD with only two gb of ram and that should go up a bit with 4gb. Thats not too bad and this motherboard can do a quad cpu and up to 16Gb of systems ram. In the reviews I have read they love it.

 

[CrackerJack]

Here's a screenshot.

Settings:
Runtime- 1 hour 43 min
Resolution- 720x480
Pass- VBR Single Pass(2.5Mbps Min, 4.2Mbps Target, 6Mbps Max)
Ratio- 16:9
Audio Bitrate- 192kbps

Time- 28:04

This was just shot in SD. So setting the setting higher, is kinda pointless. Just takes longer. Resolution change is where you'll see the most time change. If I was to set it to 1920x1080. That would take around about 2 hours. Just keep the resolution the same as the camara and you'll save ALOT of time.

Good Luck Man

Will try to remember that . Hes usually rendering small clips from the internet, water falls, movies etc.. it used to take him atleast 8 hours on a P3 system to render a 45 minute dvd. This should be much quicker. My pastor is cool he played a clip of Tallidaga Nights Easter Sunday during the sermon.

Your setup now is like my old one. So a 45min video, should take you only about 15-25min in a single pass. I'm always doing video that last about 2hr. But yeah if you need any help just pm me.

Easy! Sorta, This the one I use. Here But I got it while back for $80. It works really good. At first it didn't work with x64. But now it does for both Vista and XP. But with Vista is works really well. The best drivers are the beta drivers.


PS. don't listen to those reviews, those guys have to be retarded.
