I have Roxio and have lots of performance issues. I have a 2.4 ghz celeron processor and 1 gb RAM and have lots of performance issues. I assume that my computer just isn't good enough to allow me to edit videos. If anyone has opinions, I'd love to hear them.
Specifically, I want to know what's most important when buying a computer for video editing? Is it processor speed, memory, something else? I'd like to get a new computer that will allow me to edit mini dv's and convert them to dvd's without breaking the bank. Furthermore, I'd like to make it a laptop. Please let me know what to look for!

Jeff, is that old computer a laptop? If not, you might want to consider installing a new video card. Many of the problems with editing video is from a underpowered or un-updated driver for the card along with outdated DirectX 9c. You should be able to edit videos but it might just be a little slower than a fast new computer. Get a card with 256 MB or more on board. There are some out there for under $100 that are perfectly adequate. Be carefully to buy one that fits into your computer slots. Some require more than one slot or require a separate power supply. That's not a big problem if you have the space/power for those better cards.
What video card/chip do you have and have you updated the drivers? Have you tried rendering in software mode?
If you do buy a new computer, you will not be able to run EMC 8 if it is the Vista OS. EMC 9 (updated to 9.1) and EMC 10 will work in Vista.
For me (IMHO) the video card/chip is the most important consideration in doing any video editing. Roxio heavily relies on it to do much of the rendering. For a new laptop, look at the video chip information. Do some research on the video chips. Get one with lots of memory (2G), a large hard drive (160 or more), most any reasonable laptop will have enough processor speed unless you go bottom of the line.
Look at what other people have in their signatures and see if one is in your price range.
As an aside. EMC 8 was perhaps the worst recent version sold by Roxio. EMC 7, 7.5, 9 and 10 are all better but 9 and 10 still require the better video card. I just saw EMC 10 from Roxio with a $30 rebate and you can probably find it cheaper.
You may also want to download and try the trial version of EMC 9 to see if you like it better than V8. They should both run on the same computer. Do it after you do something with your current Video card/chip set up.
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

Go to Windows Start, Run type in dxdiag and then Ok, a new window will open. Go to the display tab and psot here what you see on both the left side and the right side. The left side will be your video device and the right side will be the driver ID and the date.
What computer do you have? If you did not order a video card when you bought it, you probably have a video chip. That can be updated from the manufacturer's web site. That may be enough to allow you to do the video editing.

On another note, any idea why Internet Explorer keeps shutting down when I’m reading/posting in these Roxio Forums? It happened repeatedly on my work computer yesterday, so I decided to do this at home, and now it’s happening on my home computer. Two completely different machines. It’s very aggravating. Thank you again for your help with this. I know nothing about video chips/cards.

Only a few are able to post images. Permission has to be granted by the moderator. Many people post and image to a web site and then put a link to it on the post. It shows up as an image (depending how they did it.)
There has been an upgrade to the forums (Invision hosting) that has screwed up a lot of people. It is a Catch 22 at the moment. The forums work OK with IE 7 but has problems with IE 6. EMC 8 works well with IE 6 but doesn't work with IE 7. Don't blame Roxio - it is Invision.
You actually have a pretty reasonable video device and it should work OK for editing. Assuming that you are running XP, go here to update the driver. There is one from Nov 2006. Follow the instructions - you may have to delete your current drivers (which takes you back to Windows generic drivers) and then install the new driver.
After you have done that, go to the ATI control panel and set the performance to balance, or one or more steps toward performance. Also set the anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering to program (or software controlled). You should see a major difference in how your computer handles video capturing and encoding. You should be able to run hardware encoding but many people believe that software encoding is more reliable.
Come back and tell us if this helps or if you are still having problems.

I just remembered that I still have the discs from EMC 7, with the update to 7.1. I can’t even recall why I upgraded to 8.0 in the first place. Do you really think 7.1 would perform better? Should I rollback to that version? What does 8.0 have that 7.1 didn’t? Do you know? Thanks again!

When it comes to the quality of a burned movie, EMC 7.1 far surpasses anything in EMC 8, which in my opinion, was junk for getting quality burns from video editing.

EMC 7 and 8 will not run in Vista. Also, that video card is a little aged. If going with an NVidia card, I would go with one, in the 8800 series, at a minimum.

With that processor is that a desk top? What is the model number? Is it the m9100z If so, get a real video card. What that computer has is an on board video chip. I looked and there is a free upgrade to a pretty good video card at their on line shop.
BTW, if you look at HP, there is a rating system for video and other. If you are buying on-line, ask what the rating is. Keep it as high as possible (like 3.0) and you should be OK.
If you get the HP system, you'll get a cut down version of My DVD with movee as the video editing program. You will want to get rid of that.
If that is a desk top, look also at Velocity Computers. I have that as my desk top and it is well built with good components.

Sorry Bruce, I thought because this post was so old that people might not find it - that's why I posted this also in the other forum. Anyway, as I said, I don't know much about video cards so is that easy to upgrade? I know how to add DVD drives, etc. What I'm wondering is if I should just look for another computer. THis is a desktop from Costco, and to my untrained eye, it seemed like a pretty good value at $900. I'm not sure it makes sense though if I immediately am going to want to upgrade the video card. How much will that run me? Any thoughts? I liked the idea of having 90 days to return the system if necessary. THey also have free tech support and a 2yr warranty...and I've had good luck with HPs in the past. Plus this came with a nice 22" widescreen monitor. Appreciate your thoughts...

There isn't anything wrong with the computer, outside of the video card/chip being low end. You could try EMC 10 with it, and see if it works. If it doesn't work real well, with video work, you can then get a dedicated video card.

This is tough. I tried the computer that I referenced above and I cannot capture video using Roxio. The programs built in to Vista worked fine though. Assuming that the problem is the video card, I'd like to know if you think that any of these might suit me better for using EMC 10.

Thanks again for your help. I'm hoping that either option 1 or 2 might work, but I don't really understand the difference between those video cards (or the processors for that matter). Please let me know your opinion. This is very frustrating. I really want to use Roxio, but I'm almost to the point of giving up and just using what comes with Vista. At least I can get that to work.
