G4 dual 800 and HDV
Ok Can I edit HDV on my system. If I can I can’t see the HDV matierial off the camera in the log and capture window, but but if I batch capture FCP goes to work. Once on the system the play back is glitchy. since the drives are fast enough for HDV or uncompress 10 bit SD I assume it is either the graphics cards or !gasp! the processors aren’t up to snuff. in Apple speak are therms HD and HDV the same in the system requirements list?
I am running FCP 5, 10.4.2, BMD 5.0 on G4 dual 800 1gig of ram, and 1 AGP Radeon and a second Radeon PCI. Also it has a 3uld scsi with a four drive strip acrosss two channels, plus an apple fibre card connected to 16 drive sata array as shared media storage with our full HD system.

I think you need more RAM and a faster cpu to work natively in HDV, however you might try using the intermediate codec instead of the native codec to reduce the overhead on the CPU caused by working natively in HDV.
