Sure transcode, mplayer, and cinerrela might be worth their weight in gold, but until support is better I know I'll still be using windoze :\

At the end of the day, its what you want to use that really matters, and if you are good enough, you can get it to work for you in a way that no one else can. The original Q should've been "What system do you PREFER editing on, PC or Mac?" This is a very subjective area, remember? Its what works best for you.

Let's just say that.
Okay. I've used Premiere on both, the Mac's suck. The interface is the same, the only difference is that :
*It's slower
*Less input formats
*Less output formats
*In ability to maximize the damn fucking window!
Yes... Whoopee!
That's changed. Microsoft has created better OS's, better font systems, better interfaces. There is more hardware available out for the PC that is faster & cheaper then the Mac. The only thing that a Mac may have that a PC doesn't is a firewire port which is like $20 :\ Mac's no longer use SCSI hard drives, their newest OS is based off of a linux derivative, linux originall started on the PC(weather that has merit or not I am not sure).
I think it comes down to zealots and idiots who continue on with the Mac is the KING OF THE MULTIMEDIA WORLD. I'll use what ever product gives me the best bang for the buck. Currently it's the PC.

Macs usually used only SCSI drives which provide better perfomance. They were hailed as being good mainly by still image and publishing professionals. I doubt anyone enjoyed doing video editing on a 66Mhz PowerPC.

When comparing video editing between Mac & PC, I believe the article outlines this, it doesn't matter which you're using since the interface is realtively the SAME. The same buttons, the same effects do the same thing.
