Thanks for your response. Does that mean that PIP is not feasible with, say, a P4 3.2GHz?

Not much difference from a system handling one HDTV tuner, though you may want extra cpu headroom if all commercial cutting runs on the same box you're viewing with. With recent HDTV playback performance improvements, I believe a 3GHz P4 w/512MB of RAM and a GeForce FX 5200 or a 6200 should be sufficient for what you're after. -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got a question?
