Hi Folks,
I have just purchased a brand new pc with the following specs:
Pentium D930 3.00ghz Dual Core Processor
1 gig DDR2 SDRAM
256meg PCIe x16 ATI Radeon video card
160 gig hard disk
etc etc
I bought it with the intention of running Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 - I wanted to do some video editing of the videos I have captured on my Sony DCR-DVD803E video camera (this camera records straight onto dvd). The problem I am having is that Premiere refuses to import any of the video I got on the video camera (even though I have copied it onto the computer in mpg format).
When I do import the video, the program hangs and has to be forcibly shut down. The computer will run these videos in Windows Media Player, but they are quite jumpy... I did not have any of these issues on my much lower spec'd laptop? The only problem was that the laptop had problems running Premiere due to its rather large usage of memory etc.
Any suggestions? I have installed all the software that came with the video camera, just incase it included a mpeg encoder or similar, and that hasnt really helped...
Hope you can help!
ps Its a Dell computer - should I have listened to my instincts and not bought a dell in the first place?
