So the first thing you really need to know, is if all the existing software/hardware you want to use on your new build will work on Win 7 or 8 whatever you are upgrading to. Or are you going to stick with XP? I nice little i5 combo (motherboard, CPU, memory) should do the trick. Whats your budget? | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1340791 | 2013-05-12 05:50:00 | Yup all those work on Win7, tried them myself :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1340792 | 2013-05-12 06:03:00 | A 64 bit program would help too, but they're not cheap. Videostudio x6 was good enough for me. Too bad its not 64 bit tho. But, it did what I wanted to do (xfer video from a cam with firewire / then edit it). Like it how it can edit MP4 too. Its the only program I've found so far that can load the MP4 files I've recorded with this DishTV receiver That winxdvd program may load them, but I havent downloaded / tried it yet |
