Adobe used to have lists of what functions were enhanced for multi for Premiere 6.x, older versions of AFX, Il, and Photoshop, I don’t think they have bothered to update this info to bring it in-line with their new products.

Multiprocessors although they can multitask they are more suited to parallel processing, where instructions,etc are divided up between processors to increase through-put, the problem with MP is it needs to be programed to work, and alot of programs that run on both single processors and multi-processors don’t have all tasks in the program programed for MP,
some programs don’t show any increase in through-put because they aren’t programed for it, with programs that have alot of tasks suited to MP can show different percentages of through-put increase depending on whether the task is memory intensive or processor intensive, a rule of thumb is an average of 50% increase, so if you had two 3200+(2ghz) processors you might see a system that looks like a 4800+ processor or more. -
You should be able to find a ATI X800 chipset card under $200, likewise a Quadro FX540 for just over $200, Newegg has refurbished ones for under $180.

Musicansfriend.com has resonably priced mics, a Shure SM57 or SM58, in the neighborhood of $100

Intially the video is compressed to DV25 in the camcorder and put on tape, the DV25 on the tape is imported to the computer via firewire as is, no changes are made in the tape to computer connection, it stays unchanged on the computer till the NLE does things to change the video, then the codec (COmpress, DECompress), decompresses the video to apply transitions, titles, effects and other changes to the video, then recompresses to the original state, some codecs affect the whole video stream some just the changes.

There is nothing wrong with the MSDV format its basically the format you are importing to the computer from the cam/deck, its when you are handling and changing the video internally that the MSDV codec shows can show wear and tear, thats why the MC codec is included so that when effects and other changes are made the least ammount of damage is done, if you try to export the MC codec the cam/deck has to be compatible with the codec which most aren’t.

[stevem1928] “The camera came with passthrough, but does not support analog”
Passthrough is A/V->DV->A/V, if the cam says it has passthrough its a menu selection in the VCR mode.

You didn’t say what version of Photoshop you are using? if a later version there are video presets available for 4:3, 16:9, HD, both PAL and NTSC.

The best way is to use a A/V converter or a DV/D-8 camcorder with A/V->DV passthrough you can sometimes get a bargain on Ebay or a pawnshop, another way is to use more Mpeg friendly software like Ulead’s Video Studio or Media Studio Pro

[Mike Carro] “Well, got my dual monitor situation straightened out but now the playback is jerky and so are DVD playback in other programs for that matter.
The card I bought was Nvidia GeForce 6200. I bought this because I wanted dual monitor. But I see that this card is really intended for Video Gaming”Jerky playback may be another problem other than the video card, junk video playback is usually caused by something hogging the buss or its bandwidth, you may have other software interferring with your editing or something else, something as simplistic as a harddrive not being set to DMA will do it, a TSR like a printer monitor, a sound card driver, or video card driver, etc.
