Minimum requirements for HDV ?
hi,
My current system is Athlon64 3000, 1 GB RAM, Nvidia 6200 AGP. I have noticed whenever I have tried capturing HDV 1080i, there were stuttering pauses and the capture was aborted due to dropped frames.
Is it because of the RAM? Should I upgrade to 2GB, for HDV workflow. I basically edit documentaries, with minimal effects work. I am currently using Adobe Production Studio, and it kicks ass with standard DV format!!

Note a big one on the list that Harm linked to is the Hard Drive specs. HD moves a lot of data and besides RAM and CPU it needs to get onto the drives fast. You didn’t mention your hard drive setup, but personally I would not even try to play with HD without RAID drives.

Look at bullet points 1 and 3.

Your Specs seems to be O.K for capturing HDV, though might not be good enough for editing it.
Just a stupid question ( Cos I have seen it happen )are you recording over the previously recorded tapes, instead of using brand new ones???? the dropped frames might itself be coming from the camera and not the PC.
Just my 2 cents.
have fun. -
i tried capturing HDV on an AvidxPro Hd, with roughly the same specs as mine…Intel P4, 3Ghz, 1gb Ram, Matrox 64Mb card…and it captured with some dropped frames…editing was also not a problem. So i presume with 2 GB I can edit fine in PPro 2.
Also the adobe specs say you require 2GB.
