Your CPU Specs for working AVCHD in CS4

I have been reading plenty of mixed reviews about some people having no problems running, and previewing AVCHD material without transcoding, and others saying that it doesnt run for them unless they do transcode, or their system is too weak.
For those of you who have NO PROBLEM editing and previewing native AVCHD footage could you please post your CPU Specs? I would like to get this post to be kind of a guide line for system performance, considering the "recommended" specs are WAY WAY off.
Thanks.

Kevin,
with the below mentioned config I can edit 2 AVCHD tracks (Sony CX6/7) in the timeline realtime , watching the CPU often at 100 %, realtime view for editing is not always perfect but still manageable, i.e. this works for basic editing purposes.

  • PSU and CPU cooler for Mega PC 651

    I got my hands on a 2nd hand msi Mega PC 651 for free because the case does not contain any CPU cooler and PSU.
    Where can I bye these components?

    Hi Lewis,
    I presume you are refering to this guide?
    http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/manual/note/quick_installation.pdf
    I don't think there are any better instructions, other than what you might get with the CPU. Here's some breif comments that may or may not help though:
    Get an anti static strap and attach it to earth, (ie I leave my main PC plugged in and attach to it's chassis, when working on another PC)
    Your CPU may be attached to the heatsink with thermal paste, if it is be very careful
    On my 865 the CPU heatsink is screwed to the motherboard, it may also be held on with levers. Disconnect it as appropriate
    Once the heatsink is loose gently remove it, you may need to lift one side first or it may lift the whole CPU out
    Once the heatsink is out lift the CPU lever, the CPU will easily lift out
    you may wish to remove the old thermal paste from the CPU and heatsink, I use ArctiClean 1+2 check your CPU supplier for options
    put the CPU straight into an antistatic bag
    Only when you are finished playing with your PC insides should you take off the antistatic strap
    If you are still unhappy with these instructions try checking out the Intel or AMD website for help
    Hope this helps
    cheers

  • AVCHD in CS4 working realtime only under  MAC OS X

    Even Dual Xeon (8 cores) MAC Pro with 8 GB RAM is not a realtime AVCHD playback machine in CS4, under any Microsoft OS.
    I tested the same AVCHD footage under MAC OS X Leopard in CS4 and under Windows Vista on the same MAC hardware and the result is smooth realtime playback under MAC OS X and NO realtime playback at all under Windows Vista 64 bit SP1.
    I guess that is the reason that in Adobe they use MAC based system for demonstration of AVCHD in CS4 !!!
    For example: In the link http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f1510v1000, Dave works in CS4 under Mac OS X, not under Microsoft OS.
    Any other smooth playback experience under Windows Vista with AVCHD footage on MAC PRO dual Xeon?

    Did you get this resolved..

  • What happened to my bookmarks, and how do I retrieve them. Your instructions are not working for me

    I have Yahoo mail, and recently they changed the format. Ever since then I've had nothing but trouble. At one time I lost my Orange Firefox button which contained the print, and bookmarks ops, among others. One day I lost my button, so I un-then re-installed Firefox. Shortly after that I lost my bookmarks, and have NOT
    been able to retrieve them DISPITE following the instructions. I started a new bookmark list, and then I lost
    it again. Your instructions do not work for me. I even tried re-installing Firefox, but that was a waste of time.
    I really like Firefox, but it seems since Yahoo Mail changed, I've had trouble with it. Sometimes changing something doesn't always work out .................................................If I can't retrieve these bookmarks, I'll just have to change my browser.............................

    These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
    These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

  • Good Morning, Are there any other donotfollow plug-ins or add ons for the version 4 of Firefox? The one available on your site will not work with version 4. Thank you.

    I am starting to affiliate market and need a donotfollow plug in or add on and the one available on your site will not work with version 4 of Firefox. Is there another place I can go or do you have another add on that will perform the same function as the do not follow you have on your site for the previous versions of Firefox? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    OK - to answer my own question, Apple recommend 8.2.1, but you can install 9.1.1 and it will run on a G3. Very slowly. Looks like this is the only option. Get it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1036. You need OSX 10.4.11 or later though....

  • Save for web greyed out, CS4, 10.5.8 (worked on 10.4)

    I have been on the phone with Adobe for over 2 hours...I have reinstalled several times, and even used the cleaning software that they suggested I download and use last night before I called.  He's currently checking to see if they can email me the "Save for Web" plug in.
    We have deleted the preferences for Photoshop.  We have updated.
    NO Save for Web folder to be found anywhere.
    Any advice would be most appreciated.

    NO Save for Web folder to be found...
    Can you find your Adobe Save for Web preference file? (user>Library>Preferences>Adobe Save For Web 11.0 Prefs)
    If so, toss that in the trash (or put a tilda ~ in front of its name) and try relaunching Photoshop.
    Also make sure the Photoshop application is installed in the right place: from Finder Go>Applications>Adobe Photoshop CS4 (folder)> Adobe Photoshop CS4 (application)
    And I assume the file your are trying to SFW is not a 32bit per channel file? Can't remember SFW limitations on CS4, but be sure by trying it on a 8bit per channel RGB image.

  • Whats the best file output spec for a file output i.e rather than an AVCHD disc

    I have been making travel videos for many years and in all the formats available at the time at the time. I moved from analogue to digital and latterly HD video (1080x1920) via Panasonic HDC-SD600  camcorder.  Using software I created AVCHD Discs and played them on my Blu Rayer Player. However I now realise that the discs can degrade? and start to stick on playback.  So I moved on to creating Video Files that I can transfer to my flash drive to feed directly to my HD tv. In previous software I took the option MP4 HD and I had no problem. However the software did start giving an unrelated problem and I changed to Adobe Premiere Elements 12. But the MP4 HD option offered in Publish and Share when transferred to Flash Drive will not play on TV (No Movies Found). Could it be that I reformatted the flash drive to NTFS to allow greater tha 4G?. I have scanned various adobe forums and tutorials but not luckly enough to find one that explains the best outputs for this type of use
    Can you help. I am slightly knowledgeable about codecs and containers.

    Bill,
    Finally solved my problem. It turned out to be the Flash Drive! I realised this was at fault when the TV stopped seeing any files irrespective of format. I re-formatted the drive back to FAT 32. I then used a ten minute video and with PE12 Publish and Share options created 6 files with different formats. 2 of these played back perfectly. I then went and done some homework and read up on Frames and Refresh rates and how PAL and NTSC still matters in this digital age. I finally opted for the AVCHD option of MP4 H264 1920x1080p at 25fps. Which I believe is correct for PAL countries.
    My TV has 100hz refresh rate so that means at 25fps each frame is repeated 4 times every 25th of a second. Forgetting all the Tech when I watched the video I found it really good and that decides it for me!
    It does leave me with something to live with however, I am apparently stuck with the 4 gigabyte barrier of FAT 32. However this gives about 30 minutes of HD video so I may have to opt for Video part one and Video part two for longer videos. I will re check the spec of my TV just to ensure the USB inputs are definately restricted to FAT 32.
    I am now thinking about DNLA as another means of playing a video file from computer to TV. But this new to me so it looks like more homework.
    Any tips or help will be welcome

  • Make your fora work on Internet Explorer 9!!!

    A big suggestion ... Make your fora work on Internet Explorer 9!!!
    I have just upgraded and am now unable to post messages... sometimes it works and sometimes it posts blank messages. I also get a lot of occurances of "You will loose all your data if you leave this page" popups occuring

    Hi Guys
    Just wanted to let you know that the issue with IE9 is still being worked on.  The browser is not yet fully supported by our software supplier, but they are currently working on this and it will be fixed in the coming weeks.
    As imjolly suggests, please try using IE9 in compatibility mode, or alternatively use an earlier version of IE, or another browser.
    I'll let you know when this is resolved.
    Thx

  • Firefox stopped updating a while ago for unknown reason;now stuck at v 2.0.0.20-- trying to manually update from your site doesn't work.

    Firefox stopped updating a while (couple of years) ago for some unknown reason. The button is checked for automatic updates. It was a while before I noticed, so now I've been stuck at v 2.0.0.20 for some time, and trying to manually update from your site doesn't work.
    No update available will work, since I missed some. I can't even see what most of the buttons are on these pages of your site. Do I need to reinstall Firefox, as some people have suggested to me, and if so, how do I go about doing that? I'm not particularly computer program savvy.
    Thanks,
    Taav

    Which version of Mac OS are you running?<br />
    Is that a OS X 10.2 or 10.3 version?<br />
    The last Firefox version that works on OS X 10.2 and 10.3 is 2.0.0.20.
    *https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
    The last Firefox version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 is Firefox 3.6.28.
    *https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-3.6/
    *http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6.28/system-requirements/
    Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5).
    *http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/23.0/system-requirements/
    For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.8 ESR compatible version that runs on a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at TenFourFox.

  • Some modding for your CPU

    Here are some useful suggests for all u guys who has problems w/ the temp
    The surface of the heatsink must always in good touch your CPU
    Just paste only a little of thermal compound to the processor
    Use the good HSF which made by CU , airflow >= 50 ex: Vol 11+
    Rounded cables to increase the air flow in the case
    Use 1 big fan (120x120mm,>=.48A) and put it above the HDD to flow the mobo ( RAM,Northbridge) and get the hot air to the back of the case
    2 rear fans to put out the hot air out of the case ( >=.18A)
    1 small fan for the Northbridge chipset (>=.12A)
    If u can do this , your temp'll decease

    And if your PSU isn't enough to suppy these fans , u can use another AT PSU
    Make sure that must be a AT PSU . It will link to all the fans and your own PSU will link to the others ( mobo , HDD , CDROM .... )
    or you could use one of these little relay thingymabobbyjobbies
    relay switch, its at the bottom of the page
    Although I aint using my switch at the moment, when I was I just opened my old spare crappy psu and cut all the connectors off that I knew I wouldnt be using e.g. p4 connectors etc and insulated them inside the psu housing. That way I didnt have too many extra wires messing up the inside of my case.
