Answer
how long is your computer taking to render a 2 hour dvd, it should take 4 to 6 hours or rather 4 to 6 hours can be considered normal
for a avi or mpeg 2 to vob dvd

a off the shelf dell with 2 gig of ram is low priced basic computer that is great for email and word processing. Using Dell as a example, could you edit a video on one? Yes, standard def video can be editing on a dell but the rendering time will be long. When you finish your masterpiece, you have to hit a button labeled render or make video. It will take a 2 hour DVD 3 to 5 hours to "render" and 10 to 15 min to burn depending on how many transition and effects you used, how "complex" your video is.
Dell as one example shares its on board memory with its basic video card, the video card is not advanced enough to take some of the workload of video off the core cpu.
Thats ok, set it up to render overnight but make sure your anti virus program does not auto-launch at 11 P.M or when ever your computer is rendering as it will overload the cpu and probably crash.
As you edit the preview screen will stutter at times and you may have to wait for the computer to catch up with you. Some plug in transitions like "prodad" will not function on a basic computer or on a video card with 8meg of ram.

Laptops and video, Mine is 2 years old and I can edit on it (standard def) with no problem but here is the trick with a laptop. Have an external drive! and capture your video to that drive. A laptop harddrive is only 5400rpm, even sata2, and is stressed by the workload. Having a external USB 7200rpm drive splits the workload across two drives. It makes all the difference in the world. Also recommended for your desktop computer for video or audio apps. (mixing of 24 tracks).
External USB drives with 200 meg are very cost effective right now.

Having said all that it is better too use a powerhouse computer or a workstation class computer. I custom build a quadcore for this purpose. With a nvideo GTs8800, 512 mem on board video card. It is designed to take the video workload compression off of the computer cpu. It is designed to render video and does it well. A project that would take some computers 2 hours to render I can now do in 18 min. How often are you going to do video editing determines your need of hardware. You could even get a breakout box that makes your video render free. (dv mojo but it does not support hi def as I understand it)
Powerhouse computers will not crash (as often) as they hum along cheerfully piecing your Hollywood production together.

You can buy a 10,000 rpm drive from seagate if you do not mind sitting next to a jet engine, Its alittle loud but is the fastest in its class without stepping up to a raid hard drive sys.

If you are advanced with computers and want to configure a raid sys do not use windows raid ulity to configure the raid, it is software driven with resource overhead that takes away some of the speed advantage. You need a raid controller card that has hardware control of the drives to archive mind blowing speeds

Video Editing software for Windows?

i want to purchase a Windows Laptop which can support the video editing software... want to know the exact configuration and which would be the best Windows XP Laptop to support the same along with other softwares for animation


Answer
Video Editing softwares are supported by any standard configuration.
What u need is better graphics capability, i think AMD works better in graphic works, also put a good graphics card(use Radeon, that's better though many prefer GeForce)
So u take up a Dual Core Athlon Processor, Radeon Graphics Card (http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon9800/radeon9800pro/index.html), 1 GB Ram(if possible stuff more), AZUZ motherboard, TFT LCD Screen 17"(Any LG or ViewSonic is good), Sony DVD Writer, Creative 7.1 Speakers.
Also take care to check out the Coolong systems, AMD get;s hot very fast.
I'm telling the configuration b'cos u do for Animation, and video editing, otherwise Intel and Pentium is best.
