[Gllug] Hardware requirements for video editing?

[wayne]

Going on personal experience firewire to disc works easily on Athlon
1200 but I still have problems exporting from disc - a friend has a
similar system with 10000 rpm SCSIs (I have 5400 IDE) and has no
problems ( same source, firewire, processor, ram)
Firewire (DV) is around 4.5M/s (I think) constantly

Hello,
   I have been asked about hardware requirements for grabbing and
edititng sound and video taken with standard (non-professional)
camcorders. There are missed frames as seen on screen trying to display
replay from a digital camera via firewire using an Adobe package on M$,
but I can not tell whether it is just a display problem with a good
recording on disc, and am considering either trying video 4 Linux on the
same hardware, or starting from scratch with a new box. Options include
P2/400, P3/550, dual P2/450, or a completely new box, perhaps with
different clips held on different discs before editing, raid, etc.....
Am I right to assume that 100MHz ethernet would be too slow to allow any
form of parallel processing?
