Regarding your last post, a dual boot a really a good idea if you have only one system.
I would stay away from anything such as Antivirus, firewall, etc. while running the production suite. These are particularly hated by Encore, but will slow down Premiere and After Effects as well.
Glad to hear you took the production step, I’m sure you won’t regret it 😉

I guess we’ll just have to email these guys and find out 😉 From a workflow standpoint, I still think it would be easier (and cheaper) to use real cardboard.

Well, what tells me that they are probably real cardboard cutouts, is that you see a light reflecting on it a couple of time.
It could have been added in post, but this reflection looks pretty real and is usually something you actually would want to avoid.
My two bits…

Yes, and that reminds me, someone told me once that it is better to actually install the Premiere files, which usually go in “Program files” on another drive than the operating system’s . Not sure if there is any truth to that, but it might be worth giving it a shot.

Right click on the track and choose unlink.

I still think they used real beer in that car…

I would email Adobe to see if it is supported by Premiere Pro. Many, many devices were dropped in the Pro upgrades, especially 2.0.

Yes, some people are working with Premiere 2.0 in a 64 bit environment, but some other Adobe apps are not consistently stable.
There are some other things to consider such as the need for much more memory than a standard system to run the same apps, and well, it’s still very early in the game. I’ve heard of big issues even with Windows XP 64 bits itself…
The bottom line is, if you are in the business of making video, don’t buy one yet, or keep the old one for now.

If you like Dell, I would definitely look at the higher end XPS series. Or, another company now owned by Dell that I really like is Alienware. For specs, a dualcore as Aanarav mentionned is the way to go. If you are going for a 64 bit system, just know that you’ll need over 4 gigs of memory. Stay away, as you already found out, from anything that says “integrated” or “on board” Video / audio.

Aanarav,
I don’t have any solid info on that other than forum archives. Maybe Steven or someone else can confirm this…
It only makes sense to me that any clip with added information will have to be re-compressed to a standard DV ratio, thus creating a generation loss. Unless Premiere has a different way to handle added info to a clip without recompressing from scratch ? I would indeed love a confirmation on that.
