hi simon

I have just bought a new Sony Laptop that has a Intel i7 processor and 8gb memory and 500gb disc.

This was because I bought my good lady a new camera that outputs video in AVCHD and we were running into speed problems on our other computers.

I haven't had time to produce a full length video yet but early trials are very encouraging.

As you and others say High Def video sure does take some power for editing. But then again video of whatever ilk has always been this way.

I am not sire whether the computer processing power ever keeps up with the constant upgrading of video formats.

Another problem I find is that the processing and editing programs don't keep pace either. Some companies try to and give up the ghost in trying to upgrade so you ( we) have to buy new software applications eg photoshop et al.

Me.....I keep on running but I never quite keep up....lol

cheers
