Long Movies?

I'd agree, this would likely go best in General Video.

My 1Ghz T-bird with 512MB of DRD2100 RAM only lags a split second when editing directly from the vob files. More memory would definitley help your situation, but your CPU should be plenty fast. Probably even better would be the bait-and-switch editing method from the new video guides- all the quality of the raw .vob files (not to mention being able to use the decomb and ivtc without it slowing Premiere down to a crawl- which it does at least on my computer) but with much lower potential for slowdown. Does take a fair bit of planning, though.

As for splitting up the files- if you're working off DVD (as in using a DVD-ROM, not capturing through a card...) , you should be able to have the ripping program split the .vob files into smaller sizes. There was a thread a short ways back about this - http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... martripper.

I guess it would lag like VirtualDub does when you're frameserving from DVD2AVI? That seems workable. I'll try it for my next AMV.

that split second lag becomes a molasses trip when you IVTC like you're supposed to

I'm getting tired of those 25 GB files...

It's not really that slow. I have an 1800 with 512 ddr 2700 ram on a KT3 Ultra board. It works better when the hard drive is defraged before you work on a video and not add much more to the drive the vob files are on also. (I have a separate drive for video editing 80 gig drive)

Given that, you would probably really benefit from the 'bait-and-switch' trick from the new guides. You could do your editing with easier to work with files and then only have to deal with the heavier ones when outputting the final movie (or exporting footage to edit in another program).

...My computer sucks more than yours. I have an AMD K6-2 450MHz, 256MB PC133 RAM and 160GB of HD space. I still don't know how I can make a video on this piece of shit. Oh well, I'm soon getting a RAID0, RAID1, RAID 0+1 Abit motherboard (KG7-RAID), AMD Athlon XP1700+ (1470MHz) and 512MB PC2100 DDR RAM plus some coolers and 2 80GB HDs for RAID0 stripping, to boost me to 320GB of HD space.

What guide are you talking about? AbsoluteDestiny and ErMaC's Guide to All Things Audio and Video? That's easily found in the Guides section.[/url]
