Which is also why it's possible to edit uncompressed SD video on old boxes like a Pentium III which might be barely capable of playing a DVD using software decoding. Done there, been that. ;) Also experienced the fun of maxing at 7 frames per second encoding to MPEG2, and that with a dual 450 Mhz PIII server. The single CPU Socket A box I had at the time could get up to 10, 12 with a tailwind!
Does the same apply to HD where a system can edit it uncompressed with ease but not be able to play it well or at all, and take forever to compress it? Or are the requirements for editing high enough that playback and compression at least as fast as realtime are no problem? --- On Wed, 6/29/11, BEDFORD NEIL <[email protected]> wrote: > Hence the need for a faster processor > to decompress the video.... the more > the compression, the more power needed. > > > > > MPEG2 is an old codec, goes back to the mid 1990's. > MP4 is newer, more > > optimized and can produce a better image than MPEG2 > with higher levels of > > compression. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
