    Just received sony vegas pro 8. What minimum system requirments would you recommend for a trouble free preview and editing for avchd?

    Currently have a Pentium 4 CPU 3.2Ghz and 1GB of Ram 3.19Ghz. Video preview is terrible set at the minimum quality.

    Thanks for your help.

    lMinimum system requirements for Sony Vegas Pro :

    * Microsoft® Windows® XP SP2 or Windows Vista™
    * 1 GHz processor (2.8 GHz recommended for HDV)
    * 200 MB hard-disk space for program installation
    * 1 GB RAM
    * OHCI-compatible i.LINK® connector*/IEEE-1394DV card (for
    DV and HDV capture and print-to-tape)
    * Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0
    * Apple® QuickTime® 7.1.6 or later

    Therefore, just top up on your memory for now…

    The problem that I’m having is very slow jumpy play back in the video preview with avchd. Adding more memory will improve the frames per second?

    Thanks again for your help.

    AVCHD is still not yet a smooth flowing format to work with….
    Therefore adding more memory would improve things a little bit,
    but not in the realm of editing your avchd…..if you want to have
    the editing power of the Gods…(its gonna cost)…follow this
    link and read up on the PC configurations needed to be in smooth
    editing heaven:

    If drive space isnt an issue, you can always convert your avchd to Cineform avi. Its a lossless codec and is very efficient with Vegas. Hope this helps. Danny Hays
