HD import veeeerrrrryyyy ssllloooowwww
I have a Mac Mini with a 1.45 GHz G4, 0.75 GB RAM, and a 12 inch powerbook with a 1.33 GHz G4, 0.5 GB RAM. Both are running OS X 10.4.6. On both of these machines when I try to import HD video into FCE (or iMovie) it comes in at 1/8 speed, which means it takes me eight hours to import a on-hour tape. Everyone I’ve talked to seems to think that I should be getting much better performance than this, but has no idea what might be causing the poor performance. Any ideas or suggestions (othat than buying a new machine)? Thanks.
