I ran swish video on a 1ghz Toshiba laptop PIII, took about 8 minutes to turn a 30 second DV based .avi using a daul pass vbr setting. 44 minutes to do a 2:30 under similar settings. I like swish, easier to use than flash, and decent options. That and Cool Edit/Audition are the 2 reasons I still own a PC… Which is why my specs are so old.

This might be more work for you, I don’t know. I export as an .avi that a windows machine can read, and import it into a program called “Swish Video”. Program costs $50 bucks, and quite good for doing flash video. If you can live with the additional steps, it’s quite good, and frees up my FCP machine to compress into other formats at the same time, or just keep working. It’s relatively quick to compress too. Probably not an ideal solution, but cheap, and works well for me, just wish Swish would do mac versions. Swishzone dot com has it available for a trial…

Final Cut Pro version 5 (according to apple website) claims to run native with p2, and the DVCPRO HD Codecs. Just guessing, but wouldn’t the p2 hook up via firewire on the 200? I am dying to try on of these cameras. Hope that helps…
Owning a camera does NOT make you a photographer… Advice I got from a guy dressed as a Transformer at Universal Studios in the 80’s, that still rings true…

I had similar problems, when viewers somehow could not use anything with Quicktime. I found, and this is just me, the most compatible codec was windows media 7, via Media Cleaner. that codec, despite it’s flaws, can seemingly run, at fairly low bitrates on any machine made in the last 5 years, and can run on PC or mac. Probably not the only answer, but it worked for me.
