Hi Folks,

I'm trying to edit in EMC 8/Videowave 8, having come "up" from VideoWave Movie Creator, but the movie clips are running dead slow in preview and video trimmer mode.  They were normal speed in Movie Creator.  The clips are in avi.  If this thing is going to work for me, I need normal speed to edit, n'est-ce pas?  Can anyone please help?

Thanks.

Bill

What type of AVI?  I've never had any problems editing DV AVI.  If you are using compressed files like DivX, then editing will be slower.

Does this give you sufficient information on this score?

Hi, thanks for helping.  Here are the specs that I gave in my other reply here:

Video Card  Model: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420 , Driver: nv4_mini.sys

As to "type" of AVI, would you believe I have no idea.  I didn't exactly know there were different types.  Perhaps you could clue me as to how to determine this.

Many thanks.

You don't have enough RAM, and your video card is also contributing to the the problem.  It is is old technology, but if you have the latest drivers for it, it should get you by, but it is going to run pretty slowly when trimming or previewing.

I'm surprised the WinXP Pro would even boot with only 256MB RAM.  WinXP Home edition runs good with 512MB.  For WinXP Pro, I'd start with 1gig of RAM.
