What setting is your sequence?

“1 GHz/1 GB RAM powerbook G4”

I would not try editing anything other then simple DV footage on a 1GHz powerbook G4

I would. DVCPRO HD doesn’t require much…

[LucidityNow] “Is there any way to see video in the timeline without having to do the full long render.”

Yes. Choose the appropriate Easy Setup, create a new sequence and use that. If you drop footage into a sequence and it requires that you render it right away, something is wrong. Your sequence settings must match your clips settings.

[LucidityNow] “I am wondering why video in the timeline must render to watch”

Your Sequence Settings are incorrect. Use your Easy Setup to 720p/60 DVCPro HD, then create a new sequence.

[LucidityNow] “it takes about 6 times as long as the footage in real time (6 minutes to render 1 minute of video).”

You will have very slow renders on that laptop once you start adding filters. But you can view and edit the footage in realtime.
