What is the best video editing card?

[Bad Dude]

Some one had asked me to build a video editing machine as a PC but I am not sure which card to put in for the video editing. Do you guys think the Radeon All in Wonder 9700 PRO is good enough or something else?
Thanks.

AIW is good

AIW is good but does he need the power of the 9700??? Just remember ati does software encoding and will do little or no video editing other then offering you some software. I think a good hardware encoder can help the encoding time and keep system available with offloading work the cpu would have otherwise done. As for video editing nothing can beat just straight cpu power,and ram speed and amount...

not much of an xpert here.

Maybe 9700pro mod to firegl X1 - or just get a firegl X1 straight away.

or maybe a quadro 4 gl
