Thank you, I will try your test. I'm thinking of buying a new laptop, any suggestions'? CPU size and video card? Have over 40hours of video to edit. My friend's want me to edit their video's too. Thanks again

 

Thank you I will try your suggestions and I'll slow down in video editing. Thanks again

 

Buy what you can afford.

 

These shoud be close to the minimum specs (from cnet).. The dedicated video card should be a must.

 

If you want a laptop and not a desktop and you don't travel much, you'll need a destop replacement type laptop.

 

You may also find this handy. Be prepared to spend $1000 to get something that will work well. You can get away with less but budget laptops might give you the same slow performance, expecially with Vista. If you like Dell, look at the XPS 1530 series.

Not really enough PC to try to run with the big dogs…

 

As a test, load the clip, split it at 10 minutes and delete the big piece. (as long as you don't Output As, your clip is untouched)

 

Now play with the 10 minute piece and see how it behaves.

 

That 'unknown video card' could be at the heart of it too…

software render !

 

In VideoWave, got to the top menu, select tools, options and make sure the dot is near software.

 

You probably don't have a video card just a chip. Make sure you download and install the latest video drivers for that chip from the Dell site or more specifically here. Use their search engine to make sure you get the right one.

 

No matter what you do, video editing will be very slow so some of the hangs you see may not be hangs, just the CPU trying its best.
