live hayd agonies

The difficulties of putting together the Live Hay'd DVD on a 'puter which struggles with video... NB The finished DVD belies the difficulties - it is fully-synchronised etc but took far longer than it should have to produce and involved 3 weeks of working solidly around the clock, rendering test videos to play and then adjusting synchronisation via use of a plastic ruler to shift tracks one way or the other until eventually they were synchronised. At times it was torture!!

If you're getting 1 frame per second playback with just a couple of tracks on a modern desktop, then the system probably needs optimising (pagefile size, etc). If that doesn't work, I'd be tempted to re-install the package or OS...

I edit my videos using Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 on 4-year-old laptop (1.6GHz, 1GB RAM), yet there's a fast frame rate in the payback window. I think that's partly because, when you import any video clip, Premiere first transcodes it into an internal format that's easy for it to manipulate.

What format does the camera record in? (i.e. MiniDV, AVCHD, Mpeg-4 etc?) Do you know?
