You need either a dual core Intel Pentium or AMD processor running nearer to 3Ghz, 2GB Ram should be ok (running at 667Mhz at least) and a SATA hard disk just for video capture (and the largest one you can afford). Other members of the forum are more experienced than I am using Hi Def video so they may give you addtional info as regards to the spec of computer you need. |
Thanks for the reply Nikosony. Yes I used USB. My camera has a USB, composite, and a Mini-HDMI outputs. Is USB the only way or can you go out the composite or HDMI to PC?
I looked at my Windows Task Manager when I was trying to play a video and my CPU usage goes all the way up to 100%.
If anybody has anything else to add that would be great but I guess the next step I'll be taking is to upgrade my cpu and mobo. With that might come RAM upgrade. I can't remember what speed my RAM is at the moment and I'm not at that computer.
I look forward to using this forum as a great learning tool in the future.
