I have persnally always found NFTS a bit better for video editing persnally, so you could maybe start a new partition and try that. Just to confirm-You have put the rushes on your computer? |
Yes, I have copied the 'rushes' or video files onto my computer. My system is NTFS. Is it better to have the 'rushes' on a different hdd? Does making a new partition on a drive make any difference really? The data would be coming over the same SATA cable as the editing software was. What would be the reasoning for using a partition?

HDV is horrid to edit, needs lots of poke, even more so for HD HDV. This is the main reason why I decided to stay with SD for my most recent camera purchase. |
Thank you both for your replies. The main reason I wanted to go with an HD HDD unit is because I probably won't buy another camera for 10 years so I wanted something that would not be 'ancient' in 5 years. With the upcoming switch of tv to HD in a year or so I wanted to have the best quality video I could capture.
Also my brother-in-law worked at a wholesaler company of electronics and he got my camera for me as a 'bad-box special' The box just had a corner a little crushed in and I got the camera for $550. At the time the lowest price I found was on newegg and it was for like $850.
So I have done some research on new computer hardware and I found a Mobo + CPU combo from Tiger Direct that I thought might work and wanted to know what everybody thought. It's an AMD and I don't want this to go into a Intel/AMD debate or anything but It seems like this is a pretty fast processor and it's fairly cheap. So if you want give me your two cents on the package.
