It should run, I know people that had it with CS4 before they upgraded to CS5, did you load all the updates for CS4 when you loaded the system?

If you are trying to view the composite signal you need to use the cable that has a three-way 3.5mm mini-plug on one end that plugs into the A/V recptl. and three rca on the other, the yellow is video, the red and white are stereo sound, If component you need to use the cable that has red, blue, and green rca on one end and mini multi connector on the other, you also need to have the appropriate signal selected in the menu for HD component or SD component, refer to your owner manual.

You could use some more processor horsepower, CS4 can use 4gigs of memory in a Win7 64bit system so 6gigs of memory would help, a 32bit system 3gigs would help some, it appears you only have one harddrive, you need two at a minimum, one for the apps and OS, a second drive for video files, you maybe able to get a smoother playback with some changes with low bitrate HDV cuts only editing, if you want to get into serious compositing and effects a newer machine would help particularly with Canon 5D footage.

You need to make some changes, One: you need more than one harddrive, you need a separate drive for video files, Two: more memory, at least 3gigs, 4gigs if you change the operating system to a Win7 64bit one, more friendly to CS4 which would be capable of editing HDV with a P4 3.2 ghz, a intermediate codec like NeoScene would also be benifical for HDV editing, forget any mpg4 derivative codecs, also what could help is upgrading to a dual core processor if your motherboard is capable, and also of course a decent display card(not necessarily top of the line), if you add-up needed upgrades you possibly could get a i5 quade based machine for a few bucks more.

Like Mike mentioned you may have cooling problems, to add to that Power Supply problems can also cause computer shutdown under load, you should mention your full computer specs, with power supply brand and wattage.

You should include your computer specs, and mention if you have a approved cuda card in your system, CPU horsepower is the prime driver in any render, your footage from a Zi8 is AVC1 H.264 in a .mov wrapper, thats the codec, its very highly compressed so less then a 1 to 2 render time is not excessive.

[Bob Dix] “a single CMOS rated 1920 x 1080p which imports to Premiere Pro as 1440 x 1080i and then miraculously appears as 1920 x 1080i when played from a tape via HDMI to a TV ?”
Hi Bob:
There is a bit of signal processing magic at work, if you take the output of the 1920×1080 image sensor at 4:2:2 there isn’t enough bandwidth to fit it on a 25Mbps DV style tape, so image signal processing reduces the pixel count to 1440 horizontal which is anamorphic, this reduces the horiz pixel by almost a third, Quadratic manipulation reduces the color space from 4:2:2 to 4:2:0 which is another form of compression, the resulting video is further compressed by a Mpeg2 algorithm to give you 1440×1080 4:2:0 MTS video which will fit into the bandwidth of a dv style tape, when captured via firewire from tape you end up with 1440×1080 which a program like premiere stretchs the anamorphic video to fit the 16:9 frame. if tape captured via HDMI it can be either 1440 or upscaled 1920 depending on the cam or the tv which will do the proper scaling when it detects the video format. -
I usually save edited files to Harddisk for archiving and previewing via a Harddrive docking station and a WesternDigital HD player($100us), I don’t bother saving back to CF/SD as harddrives are much cheaper per gig than cards.
This link refers to pixel shifting and reasons for it, usually to increase apparent resolution.

How long was the recorded concert that you are trying to downconvert??

Hi Charles:
Heres a link that might interest you prices look reasonable
