[Gllug] Hardware requirements for video editing?

[Chris Bell]

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?
