Help me build machine for Video Production!

[gearfish]

Im looking into building a system for my new compy of Adobe premire. Can you recomend?

I would tell you to go to Adobe's Premier Pro page, but they seem to have as many answers as you would get here.

PPro message started from Anandtech

Myself, I just built a dual Xeon for Pinnacle Liquid Editon use along with Hash Animation:Master. Using the ASUS board (see Rigs) was a cheap option when it came to comparing Opteron duals vs Xeon duals. Either choice will be faster than most of the units you may have seen demos on. The SATA subsystem is not as fast as an add-on card, but it is fast enough for what I needed. I did opt for a Creative Labs Audigy as there are some suggestions, whether true or not, that the onboard audio could have issues during MPEG conversion for DVD.

You can spend lots of additional money on AV/DV solutions as well as NTSC real-time display. I cannot help you there in Premier. Check the Adobe Forum.

Yeah, I'm interested in the same thing. One thing I'm wondering is if a 74GB RAID 0 Array would speed things up a lot compared with some slower/larger/cheaper drives.

"Speed things up a lot" - No. Faster at some things, no gains at others. I use my 2x37 C: as my Render target and my 2x200 as my Capture and project. I may have to put the Render back on the larger drive set though as a DVD project takes about 15GB to create a DVD (workset, img, and dir structure with files.)
