Processors and HDV video
I noticed that Vegas pro 8 recommends a 2.8 ghz processor for hdv. I am looking at a 2.4 ghz core 2 quad. Will the fact that it is a quad core make up for the lack of processing power, or would I be better off trying to find a 2.8 ghz core 2 duo?
Thanks for your time,

2.4 core 2 quad should be fine.

Yes I believe the bottle neck would be the ability to record HDV to your hard drive with out dropping frames. If the 2.4 seems sluggish, render the m2t files to cineform avi and edit with them. Vegas has the Cineform codec included. The cineform format was designed to work more effeciently with slower computers. Plus they can handle multiple renders without much loss where m2t files will degrade quicker. Danny
