What quality can you get with a avchd camera on a power pc

[ItsMyNaturalColour]

@MrPearPodd You can't import AVCHD footage using PowerPC Macs. PowerPC Mac's aren't compatible with the format.

actually the G5 is pretty good at ripping DVD's if you have a great optical drive, your optical drive I believe was the original 2004 super drive. I have a 2010 HP optical drive, and movies rip in about 30 minutes to an hour(an hour for the long movies). A big part of transferring DVD's is just the optical drive. And yes some companies do still make new fast IDE Optical drives. Now if only the G5 was good at rendering XD

@oldVideoGamesChannel Hmm. Different experiences to me. No matter what drive, my G5 would have NEVER converted a DVD for iTunes in 30 minuets... No way... You must be lucky :L

@eschofield1 he uses handbrake forMac

what software do you use to dip dvds

[MrNando5556]

what company did you use to pick up your mac pro?

[Paspiedreamcast]

You would have been better off buying a high definition MiniDV camcorder, like a Canon Legria HV-40. As well as being compatible with Powermacs, it would have been a lot less CPU intensive, so there would be less reason to buy a Mac Pro.

@zac1256 are you crazy?

[oldVideoGamesChannel]

I strongly agree with the luck thing, I bought my 15 inch macbook pro locally for $396 and I got a mac pro off of ebay for $950, i've had extraordinary luck, and the deals are out there if you look hard enough.

Also, you can't really go wrong with 8 cores, 16GB of RAM, and 2x Intel SSDs in RAID 0.

I hope to keep my 2008 Mac Pro until 2020 as my main computer :)
