Premiere Pro CS5.5 corrupting source videos?

A bit of an odd occurence with my CS5.5 (trial) installation: It seems to be corrupting videos slightly enough that it can no longer read them, resulting in a "Media Offline" error message when reopening the project. The video files are still there, but will not play back in the Source Monitor. However, they will play in VLC Media Player, though it picks up that the .AVI file is broken and needs to be repaired for playback, and it does.
If I copy the files again from my SD card and repoint the project to them, they will load. However, they will simply be broken again upon restart of the program.
If it matters, the video files are 720p 25fps videos from my Pentax K-r.

  • I had to re-install Premiere Pro CS5 and now video are files acting funny...

    Hello. I had to reformat my system drive and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and then I did an anytime upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I then re-installed Premiere Pro CS5. Here's the problem. When I open any of my projects that I worked on BEFORE I re-installed Premiere (when I was using Windows 7 Home Premium), the video files on the timeline all look corrupted when I play the timeline now. They have these weird block artifacts and also a constant pulsing thing going on. I deleted all the media cache files and all the media cache database files but, nothing changed even though Premiere conformed every single video file in the project again. Then, I went to "Sequence" and hit "Render Entire Work Area" and after Premiere was finished rendering, I noticed the artifacts and pulsing are completely gone BUT, the video files look like a VHS tape that has been recorded over a few times. The edges of people and things in focus aren't nice and sharp like they were before I re-installed Premiere. I DO NOT have the time or patience to have to delete all the video files and import them again into the project and re-edit the entire scene! Can someone please help me resolve this problem?! I am about done with Premiere!
    Is there a way to delete the video source files that are on the left side of the timeline (next to the "Source" window, where they got imported into the project) without deleting the edited video files on the timeline and then re-import the same source video files into the project, kind of like "refreshing" the video files? If this is possible, it seems like this would fix the problem without me having to re-edit everything again.
    *Update*  My idea of just re-importing the source video clip won't work either. I deleted one of the source video clips, which deleted its reference clip on the timeline, and I re-imported the video source clip to see if it would play all weird in Premiere and sure enough, it has the same exact block artifacts and pulsing effect like all the other source clips in the project. It seems that if that's the case, it might be a codec problem. But, that doesn't make sense because if I open the clip on my hard drive with Windows Media Player or Allplayer, the clips plays perfectly fine and looks like it is supposed to. So, it must be a codec problem in Premiere??? Could it be that Premiere Pro CS5 doesn't work well with Windows 7 Professional? I find that hard to believe. Can someone please help me?
    By the way, all the video clips in the project are from my Panasonic GH1 or my Panasonic GH2. They are all 1080p/24 AVCHD. I even made a new sequence within the same project making sure the sequence settings are AVCHD 1080p 24 and still nothing is fixed.

    Have you tried exporting a 10 second section of the footage to see if the issue shows up once the seqeunce is actually exported from the timeline. I edit on CS5 with windows 7 pro at work quite often and have no issues so I assure you that isn't the issue. I also edit with AVCHD footage when at home and work quite freqeuntly as well so I'm positive that isn't the issue. It sounds like a GPU driver has been corrupted in the way it interacts with premiere pro. What type of GPU do you have? If it supports MPE's GPU acceleration have you tried turning it off and seeing if that makes any difference?
    Anyways though try to export a 10 second test section of your timeline to see if when the clip is exported from premiere it will play normally in windows media player or vlc or w/e media player you want to use. If it exports fine then you can almost be positive it's a corrupted video card driver. If that's the case I'd re-install your GPU's driver and also check your gpu makers website to see if they have a updated driver avaiable.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 corrupting images!

    I do alot of projects that are a montage of photos and videos - in my latest project Premiere Pro started replacing pictures with other picture data. This has not happened to me so it must have happened when a recent patch or something was installed. I am using 5.0.3. Here are some more details:
    There are a few times when this will happen so here are a couple instances:
    1. I will import some pictures into the Jproject BIN area. I wil then grab them and drop them into a sequence. Using a speicfic exampl, I droped 5 images into the sequence (a HD 1080i sequence) and when I moved the preview bar on top of them I noticed a couple of the images were the same image! Lets say they are 1.jpg, 2.jpg, ... 5.jpg. What I noticed is that all of a sudden 3.jpg is showing what 1.jpg is. If I delete and reload, same thing! I actually have to open 3.jpg in photoshop and make a small change, resave it, and then Premiere Pro will then reload and the image shows up fine. This happens randomly and in the 200+ images I import may only see this 3 or 4 times!
    2. Sometimes I will have loaded the images in a sequence already and they are all showing correctly - then a couple will mysteriously just change to another image in the project. Same process needed to get it back...like it needs to force a reload to uncorrupt it!
    3. Last time this hit me was the worst. Project done, reviewed it start to finish like 3 times...looked perfect. Exported to Encore, built DVD, transcoded and burned a DVD. When I played it - 3 pictures had changed!!!
    This issue is so frustrating...this is really perplexing me...andyes, I have tried clearing the Media Cache within PP...HELP!
    Thanks - Jeff

    J. D.
    Thanks for the suggestion - but unfortunately I have not installed the CS5.5 Tial...nothing new from Adobe has been installed between the time when I used PP last where I didnt have this issue and this time. Only chnages are the peridoic Adobe Updates - had to have been introduced in a new PP Update within the last few months.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro Automatically Crops Source Video Upon Import

    This is really confusing me and I've never had this kind of trouble before.  I have source videos that are 720x480, but as soon as I import them into Premiere, they are cropped to 540x480.  It's not a problem with sequence settings or anything, because the imported source file is cropped before it's even in a sequence.  I tried looking on-line for a solution, but couldn't find any.  Does anyone know how this can be fixed...maybe some import settings that I don't know about?
    Here are some screenshots to visually represent what I was saying:
    This is properties of the video
    This is what Premiere automatically does right after the video is imported as a source
    This is a screenshot when played with VLC:
    This is a screenshot when played from the source in Premiere:
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  This video is due Saturday and all my footage is cropped, please help me.  Thank you!

    11.  Re: Adobe Premiere Pro AND Adobe Premiere Elements 13 Automatically Crops Source Video Upon Import
    My AP Elements (version 13) has exactly the same bug. I have a DVD where 25% of every VOB file's images' right border has been cut away during the inserting phase into Elements. No adjusting of frame and pixel aspect ratios, black borders narrow or wide, project settings automatic or manual do not help. Gone is gone. But the same VOB files play normally (100% image) in many other players/editors. I have experimented with VLC and Wondershare Video Converter. 
    On the other hand Elements is able to read correctly other DVD's VOB files. See discussion about this very same bug in Elements thread.

  • GPU Acceleration Cards For Premiere Pro CS5

    Hello:
    I am ready to invest in a GPU accelerated graphics card that will speed up playback and use the Mercury Playback Engine in GPU mode.
    From what I could find on the Adobe site, these are the cards that are supported for Premiere Pro CS5
    Supported NVIDIA video cards for GPU acceleration (CS5):
    GeForce GTX 285 (Windows and Mac OS)
    GeForce GTX 470 (Windows)
    Quadro 4000 (Windows and Mac OS)
    Quadro 5000 (Windows)
    Quadro 5000M (Windows)
    Quadro FX 3800 (Windows)
    Quadro FX 4800 (Windows and Mac OS)
    Quadro FX 5800 (Windows)
    Quadro CX
    Can anyone give me a recommendation from your own experience?  Is the list of cards above still valid?
    Thanks,
    Rich Locus

    So... before I go out and spend $650 on a GeForce GTX 680, it is this simple to make it work in CS5?
    Yes.
    (1) Make sure the card has at least 1GB of VRAM (which the GTX 680 has).
    (2) Edit the cuda_supported_cards.txt to add one line:  GeForce GTX 680 (starting in column 1)
    (3) Install the card?
    Do step 3 before step 2.
    Also, you can simply delete the cuda_supported_cards.txt file
    and achieve the same result.
    Will Premiere Pro recognize that I have the card and immediately take advantage of the GPU capabilities, or do I have to change options?
    You will need to specify:
    "MPE GPU Acceleration" in your Project Settings:
    If you do not have a supported card (or have not applied the hack),
    this option will be greyed out.

      i've been using Premiere Pro for about a year and a half with no trouble, no crashes that i can remember.   I updated to 5.0.4 when it came out and experienced no problems.
    I have not made any changes to my system (drivers, programs, etc.) since the last time i worked with Premiere Pro with no trouble.  The only  difference is that i generated approx. 52GB of new video files (mov. uncompressed 32bit 640x480 resolution) that i was beginning to edit in to a music video.
    My current problem is:: there is absolutely no playback of video in 5.0.4.   not in the tiny project window preview,  not in the source preview, and not in the timeline/canvas window.   when i push PLAY, the button turns into a square STOP button, but nothing happens.   this is independent of project or file type.  The project i was working on when playback stopped is using uncompressed 640x480 32bit Quicktime files and one 44khz/16bit .AIFF file.   as a quick doublecheck, I just added a 640x480 Apple Intermediate Codec file and it also will not play back.   I opened older projects and none of them will playback.
    My problem started while i was working on a project.  I was working on the project for probably an hour and a half with no trouble.  Then it seemed to get a bit sluggish and i could hear the HD churning a little more.   After rendering out a short section (just under 10 seconds), PPro did not play back the just rendered (now greenline) section.  Immediate playback of rendered material was the default behavior, and this was the first time ever that the just rendered section did not play back.   I then discovered that no video would play back at all--in any of the windows.   I can scrub through all the video without any trouble--all the frames are there.  
    I shut down PPro, & restarted.  No change.   I restarted my computer.  No change. 
    Realizing that the problem was likely related to a lack of space on my data drive,  i deleted approx. 500GB of files off my 2 TB drive, leaving just under a 1/3 of it free.  i checked the drive for errors, and defragmented it.  Premiere Pro still wouldn't play any file from any project.
    The files are fine, they will playback anywhere else (several different file types involved in different projects).  The files are compatible with Premiere Pro (uncompressed VGA resolution Quicktime .mov), i was editing on the timeline with them for hours before all video playback stopped.   All other Adobe programs  (After Effects, Photoshop work fine).
    I tried to find an answer/solution on these forums, unsuccessfully.   After uninstalling PPro and reinstall (did not help), and entire Suite uninstall, Adobe Clean, and reinstall,  neither version 5.0.0 or 5.0.4 will play video --the no playback problem has persisted.
    I was running out of HD space --i had less room than i thought -- down to about 7% of free space, a bone-headed move on my part.  I'm not  surprised that playback performance got compromised due to lack of space.   But i'm shocked that the problem is persisting.   Fortunately, i had just backed up my entire system the day before.  (i've backed up many times before and this never affected PPro performance)
    i tried to "CLEAN" the media cache for the sequence but it had no effect  (in searching the forums, i saw somebody else have their 'crashing Premiere Pro' problem solved by hitting this button).  I just took a look in the user/application support/adobe/common/5.0 to look at the "Media Cache" folder and the "Media Cache Files" folder.   Neither of them are empty, even after hitting the CLEAN cache button in the main preferences 'Media' settings window.   I don't know if this is the correct behavior or not.   (i'd expect a "clean" command to empty the folder, but i'm not the programmer)
    This does not appear to be the ATI/5.0 problem that so many Mac users suffered (i was lucky to never have that problem).    Again, i've never had any problems with Premiere Pro over the last year and a half, until working on this latest project with the Hard Drive very low on space.   I'm 99.9% positive that's at the heart of the issue.
    I don't understand why a clean reinstall did not help in this regard.  The problem is clearly PPro specific.   I found one topic in the forum where someone else experienced this same "no video playback" problem, but there was never follow-up from the user saying whether or not his problem was solved (or what was done to correct the problem).
    I'd love to get some help--- seems to be a very rare issue, but right now, i can do no video editing.  btw,  i started a new project as well and imported a .mov file -- same problem, no video playback.
    the weird thing is that i can actually still edit video.  i just rearranged my timeline assets and rendered out a minute-long quicktime (Apple Intermediate Codec) .mov and it looks and plays as it should.    This is really weird.  I'm baffled -- there must be some way to fix this.   I don't want to have to go back to Final Cut,  certainly not when i've already paid for Create Suite 5 Production Premium and EVERYTHING works except for video playback in PrPro.
    thanks in advance for your help

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace

  • Why does Premiere Pro CS5 process audio source before exporting clip in AME CS5?

    Hello everyone, my first post here. I am currently trying out the trial CS5 Master Collection on my MacBook Pro. I've been using Premiere Pro CS5 to put together family videos. I select a certain portion of a sequence and queue it for export in Media Encoder CS5 in the format H.264 for iPod with video and audio.
    Now in AME I have a queue list of about 5 clips from the sequence. But when I hit the Start Queue button, the bottom left of the progress bar states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]"  for all 5 clips from the sequence then creates the first output file.
    Then it moves to encode the second and again states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]"  for all 5 clips of mt sequence then spits out only the second output file.
    This continues for the remaining 3 output files. The total sequence length is ~32 minutes with transitions and it takes about 35 minutes to export which is all consumed by the process audio source of the 5 clips in my sequence for 5 separate times.
    Is there a certain reason why Media Encoder or Premiere Pro does this process of audio source? Is this process necessary or needed? I experimented with choosing different output formats but the results are the same. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Now that's pretty good follow-up to your first post, and quickly too! Nice detective work.
    As you have found, there is basically a Render/Replace operation going on in PrPro, to get the material in the correct form for AME.
    Thank you for reporting, as it saved me, and others, from basically saying what you said.
    Good luck, and sorry that you beat us to the punch.

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 and H.264/AVC video import issues

    Hello!
    I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and using Premiere Pro CS5.5.
    I record HD videos using a Canon EOS 7D in .mov format. I don't have any issues importing these files to Premiere, but I do have problems with the convered equivalents. I'm currently using AVS Video Converter 7 to convert the original files to .AVI files.
    The main difference between the two versions (original and converted) is the bitrate and audio codec, but Premiere only imports audio when I drag the .avi file to it. What strikes me dumb is that a poor editor like Camtasia Studio has no problems reading the files (both the audio and video track), but Premiere does.
    I also have the MainConcept Codec Suite, but that doesn't help.
    Can someone please give me a better solution than telling me to convert the converted videos back to a format supported by Premiere? I would prefere jugling with codecs and make it work rather than spending time converting videos back and forth.
    Intel Core i7 920, 12GB RAM, nVidia GeForce GTX 295.
    Thank you!

    @Jim Simon
    I have 7D footage on my hard dive right now.  4.5 minutes takes up
    about 660MB.  Which is right in line with AVCHD running at 12 to 13 GB
    per hour.
    I don't know what kind of footage you got, but I download recordings from it daily and I think that entitles me to say I know better. Maybe what you've got isn't original 7D HD footage.
    As for the solution...what I'm saying is that the "best
    practice" IS the solution.  You're creating a problem by not following
    the best practice.  If you follow that best practice, you will stop
    creating the problem.
    I already have problems. To be more specific, I'm not looking for future advice, but for ways of solving the problems I currently have. Telling me what to do from now on won't help me import and use in Premiere the already compressed files.
    @banzemanga
    Well, nothing will be resolved by complaining about it.
    What you should be doing is to request this feature.
    I'm not complaining as much as I'm saying Premiere is really PRO.
    However, i am curious why MainConcept Codec Suite can't import your file.
    Have you tried using a different video container differnt than *.avi?
    Yes, I have tried a dozen, but to no avail.
    @shooternz
    Most people using Premiere want to maintain high quality...not throw it away by using converters.
    I'm using native files too, it's just that I don't keep them that way for years.
    Editing native is seen by most to be a huge PLUS!
    Yes, I would say CPU-wise.
    Later in the evening I have found what seems to be the best solution to my issue.
    AVS Video ReMaker and MainConcept can do wonders together when it comes to importing compressed files to Premiere PRO. AVS Video ReMaker's MP4 export almost instantly converts files with no quality loss and very close to the source file's size, and these MP4 files are recognized as native clips in Premiere (with stereo audio track and clean responsive video) thanks to MainConcept. It is excellent! The only downside is that the CPU gets more stressed (about 20-30% more of a Core i7 920), but the compressed video runs smooth (HD@50fps), needs no rendering and takes the same ammount of space as the source compressed file.

  • Specific Video Footage in Premiere Pro CS5 completely black.

    I've been working on a music video project in Premiere Pro CS5 for the past few months and everything has worked really well until just a few days ago, when a certain chunk of my high speed footage randomly turned black. I have it in its own bin so it's separated from my other video source files. If I try to preview these videos, all it shows is black footage (though the timelengths for each one are still correct). I checked and made sure the actual .avi files on my hard drive still worked, and they played through perfectly. I tried re-importing these videos into my project file and that didn't do anything. I made sure they were connected to the right files in the right folder on my computer, and they were. The rest of my video footage works just fine, so I'm confused why this certain bunch randomly turned completely black.
    I backed up the entire project to an external hard drive and loaded it on a different computer with Premiere Pro CS6 on it, and everything works perfectly again. Does anybody have any idea how I can get my footage to return from the black abyss it's fallen into on my personal computer running CS5?

    AVI is a wrapper... what is inside your wrapper?

  • Why does Premiere Pro CS5 eat up space on my C drive when it conforms video files?

    Hey everyone. I have Premiere Pro CS5 with the latest update installed. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on a 120GB Corsair SSD drive. I have set my scratch disk video and audio previews to a different hard drive (F: drive). I have three questions:
    1. Why does Premiere eat up space on my C drive whenever it conforms the video files I import into my project?
    2. Where on my C drive can I find the folder that holds all these conformed video files that are taking up space on my C drive?
    3. How do I prevent Premiere from eating up space on my hard drive when it conforms the video files I import into my project? Is there some way to move whatever folder is eating up space on my hard drive when Premiere conforms the video files and tell Premiere to conform the video files on another hard disk so I don't lose precious space on my C drive?
    Okay, that's four questions but, can some please help me on this? Thanks.
    Okay, that's five questions.

    hello,
    i think you need to relocate you media  cache files to a separate drive other than your c: drive.
    in the hardware forum, Harm has done a wonderful job at advising on HDD setup, i think it mentions relocation
    of swap file, media cache, etc.  all which are defaulted to your c: in your user profile

    After having to re-install my start-up drive recently I am getting a message with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 that it can't find any "capable video play modules" and asks me to "update" my "video display modules". I am using a mid-2010 iMac 27" with OSX 10.7.3. How do I do this?

    Premiere is an Adobe application and is supported in their forums.

  • How can I capture video on a dvd disc in Adobe Premiere Pro Cs5?

    Hi! I'm an amateur, I'm trying to restore a video on a vhs tape into Premiere Pro Cs5.  I have Pinnacle Studio Pro 14 software, Moviebox Plus USB hardware ,Sony dvd player, and a Panasonic vcr player.  I captured the vhs video to Pinnacle Studio Pro 14 and burned it on a dvd.  I connected the Moviebox Plus to my computer via usb, and connected the input and output to my Sony dvd player.  I opened Premiere Pro Cs5 and went to file and clicked on capture.  I push play on the dvd player and nothing happened in the capture window.   I noticed at the top of the capture window were some info.  The info stated, "Capture device is offline".   I went into Premiere Pro Cs5 to Edit and Preferences.  I changed the Device Brand to Sony and the Device Type to Standard.   So far, nothing has been captured.   I would like to know how can I fix this problem.  I know this is a lot of information, but that's the only way to state my setup and what was done.   Thanks.

    The easy way is with the DVD in your PC's optic drive use Explorer to navigate into the Video_ts folder and there you will find the VOB file
    If you cannot see the file extension highlight the folder and right click, select properties and from the Tools menu select folder options then in View uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.
    Then you will see the .VOB file extensions.
    Copy the large VOB onto your hard drive then click on it and select re-name.
    Rename the .VOB to .mpg and use this file.
    There is some free software VOB2MPG which does the same job but far easier.
    As for learning PP go to the Creative Cow website and search there for video tutorials, there are plenty from absolute novice to full on expert.

  • Good Premiere pro Cs5.5 Video Editing Computer Set Up For Under $3000

    Hey everyone im hopeing to hear for Harm Millaard input on this and anyone elses who understands PC computers for video editing. I need to build a computer set up for my specific needs. I am a youtuber who makes videos for a living and I need a speedy computer for editing primarily in premiere pro CS5.5 and sometimes in After effects. I use magic bullet 2.0 color grading in almost all my videos so that slows my computer down alot. The current computer I have now shuts off when ever it runs to much stuff and gives me the BSOD so its extreemly fusterating because editing something small can take me all day because of the constent shutting off. Mostly does BSOD when I uses Magic Bullet 2.0 I shoot with DSLR footage but once in a while it will happen out of the blue when running alot of things but mostly when exporting. I need a list of specs that will all work together to give a perfect workflow for my needs and I also would like advice on what Raid because I dont fully understand it as well as what back up drives etc should I have. I plan of buying the specs and having someone build it for me and set up raid etc that knows how to do all that. In case some of you wonder what type of computer I have now these are the specs if you need more information on what I have in my computer ask exactly what info you want to me to tell you and ill look it up.
    If you have advice on specs I dont have to re-buy that I could take out of this computer to save money then that would be better as well. I currently have no back up external drives as well so Idk what I should buy for that as well. Thank you all for your time a head of time!

    Well!!!!.....where do I start??  You must spend some time here reading all the valuable info that has been presented and discussed many times here. Basically, PPro is a very demanding , PROFESSIONAL program that needs beefy and SPECIFIC hardware to run properly.
        AMD CPU will not cut it.....it lacks the necessary instruction set that Intel has that apply to video processing.
    You need a fast Intel i7 CPU for starters.
    You do not mention video card.....NVidia CUDA card of over 1GB video memory is required to enable the "Mercury PlaybackEngine", which provides a TEN TIMES INCREASE  in rendering speed of previews.....not to mention accelerating the export process by handling some specific effects during export.
         Some DSLR codecs,( like Canon MOVs) cause PPro....which is a 64bit program..... to open the 32 bit " Quick time Importer" process, ( as Quick Time is 32 bit), slowing down the process, even with good hardware. Editing highly compressed consumer codecs,( AVCHD,etc.) in real time ,then exporting can be very taxing on a computer, requiring top -notch components. Even if you do it the old way and transcode to a more edit friendly codec before editing.....you would then need a larger,faster disk system to handle the huge files at a high speed!!!
    16GB system memory is OK for 5.5.....with 6 and later, 32GB is better.
    Two separate hard drives are the required minimum for PPro......currently, the best performing and cheapest setup would be : C drive=  120GB quality SSD, D drive = 2x 7200 RPM HDDs in onboard RAID 0 for pagefile,previews, and all cache files.  E drive= same setup as "D", for media,project files, and export.  F drive =  large 7200 rpm disk for necessary backup of important files and backup of "D" drive. All drives should "indexing" and" compression" turned OFF,( under drive Properties window).
    Less expensive would be just three separate 7200 RPM HDDs...that could be OK with just DSLR footage which is so compressed that it requires less actual MB/sec., unless you are using many tracks of video, upping the requirement needed.
    Read the many posts and articles by Harm Millard and Bill Gehrke....they have contributed a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience to the readers.....preventing many from making bad purchases and expensive mistakes when trying to construct a machine that will perform well....their website, PPBM5 is invaluable as it can show you all the video benchmark results of differently configured machines. It is a good guide as to what you may want to build,or, purchase.....Good Luck!!
