On my PCs I've used for video editing, I've found that
uncompressed video or lossless compressed or MJPEG
(Motion JPEG where every frame is a full JPEG image)
are easier to work with using Premiere. My current
PC has an Athlon 64 3200+ (single core) and my
previous
one had an Athlon XP 2000+.

Definately not with Premiere! There are many other
programs out there that can edit MPEG/MPEG2 just fine,
cut and join on any frame and output the results
without recompressing. Premiere and MPEG just don't
mix well for editing. (Same story for any other
lossy codec that can't be configured so every frame
is a full image.)
MPEG/MPEG2 as an editable format gets a bad rap from
back when nobody had yet written an editor that
could cut and splice it at any frame and output the
edited video without recompressing and losing quality.
Early MPEG editors could only make cuts and splices
at keyframes, then some got the ability to make edits
on any frame, but if on an I-frame the whole video
had to be recompressed. The next advance was only
recompressing the segment between the keyframes.
So today, to say "MPEG is not an editing format."
doesn't hold water, if you use the right software.
When is Adobe going to catch up to the 'little guys'?
;) (Premiere costs $$$, edits MPEG like it's
1999. Other software costs $0.00 to $$, can edit MPEG
like Premiere works with uncompressed video.)
