Sorry for the poor title but I'm not quite sure how to spell it out. I've got an old analog capture card from ATI, but I'll probably need to scrap it as the new computer I'm moving to has limited PCI slots. I'm wondering if I should replace it with maybe an outside box (what is the proper...

free-codecs.com is good one. I think you could find everything there and all clean.

Thanks, Sorry for bothering the forum superman, but I swear that I did look around twice and somehow missed it. Is there any reason it should be set to the last 90 days by default?

For one thing, the search appears to be useless as it cannot find any threads by me when searching by author... nor does it do well under other circumstances. I am unable to find a post I started called "Building Video Editing PC... What to look for?'. I have a link to it in my email inbos (a...

Yeah, does kinda sound like it.... but I've never instaled anything like or have seen something like that on my pc. And I do a lot of snooping, and audio recording so I where all the controls are. Oh yes, and it's back to normal again without me doing anything. That's what bugs me, that it...

Hi, I'm having a frustrating time finding good deals on the web that will ship to Canada. For some reason Amazon won't ship electronics to Canada. You can't filter yahoo,.msn, and froogle shopping for stores that will ship to Can, can you? Is there anybody here from Canada that can...

Hi, I don't know if it is the soundcard or PC at fault or how troubleshoot this. This happened once before and then corrected itself on it's own. Now it's back. When i play any file, you can't hear the voice's, sometimes only background vocals or drums and the quality is horrible. Where...

Well, it's mostly from scratch except for the few things like the soundcard and DVD drive that I will port from my current one. I don't know if the case I have is a good one... probably best to get a new one? Ok, so I'll go with some Intel Dual-core... whichever I find for a good price...

No, Macs are out of the question for now... I only have PC software (even tho you can run WIN in Macs now, probably not ht ebst idea for video editing?), and Macs just cost more. So in what order should I consider choosing the parts? So I get everything compatible.

Sorry gsellis... I'm currently working with Premiere Pro 1.5, and am looking at getting AE. I'm not likely to get anything more than 2gigs RAM anyway. I already have a Hercules Gametheater which works well, a DVD-RW drive, and two HDdrives (80GB and 160GB)... I'll get a third when I can...

Concerning the link mshan posted, what do they mean by a workstation class machine. That it is from a big brand?

Thanks snoturtle, >>What type of footage and how much of it? DV, HD, etc...<< DV... also will be working with graphics (photoshop,illustrator). I assume the latter part deals with harddrives? Thats alright, I know more or less about that. >>How soon are you building/buying?<< As...

Hi, I'm looking into getting a new powerfulish PC to use for serious video editing, for ~1.2k to start, and have it flexible for further enhancements in the future. I don't know if I should be building it from scratch, or get a prebuilt one and upgrade from there? I hear that is it is...

I've been using the same XP system on a partition for several years, and things are getting slow. I hear that the best way is to reinstall XP and reformatt. Ok reformatting is fine, but I'm reluctant to have to go through and reinstall the hundreds of programs* I use and recustomize hundreds...

I've just got a new 160GB hard drive to supplement my nearly filled 80GB drive. I'm wondering, will the computer need some sort of power enhancement to run 2 drives now? I have 512MB or RAM adn a Pentium 4 processor.
