When your pc is all screwed up, the best thing for it is always a nice format.

Codecs: Only install the ones you need. For playback, just get ffdshow and maybe medic player classic.

Drivers: get the latest drivers for your video card, and any devices you have that might need drivers.

Software: I consider Firefox and Spybot mandatory. And don't go around installing weird shareware programs.

? what's the best Editer out today ? - there all about the same!

If you like Progressive video's then use MediaMania 4 or Asymetrix 7.
( don't go looking for these on the web, there not one the web anymore! )
If you want to hack and sclash, Adobe and AiST can do that.
. All can use Adobe's After Affects. - check the guides.

Codec?
Xvid and Huffy - check the guides

Um, by "progressive" do you mean "one full frame displayed at a time" or "liberal and envelope-pushing"?

So can programs like Magix Whatever-it's-called-now, for <i>much</i> less. I checked out that link that someone posted for AiST the last time you recommended it, and it looked pretty cool... but it cost twice as much as Adobe Premiere.

I suggest consulting the <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... ">software list sticky</a> for more affordable (and some not so affordable) alternatives.

. granted - AiST stuff is expensive, and a pain for Newbe's, but I like the
freedom of working with Compressed Files ( So I pay the difference. )

. The only thing I do not like about Primiere/AiST are that they won't be updated
to "finisher" Encoder/Editers.. Which reminds me; besides Descreet 6.0,
what other Finisher Encoders are there? - I guess I never gave it much thought!

So you like your video to look like ass? Because thats what compressing compressed footage does, man.

And as for not being updated... Premiere 6.0 -> 6.2 (i have that, it does exist) -> 6.5 ->7.0 (Pro 1.0) -> Pro 1.5.

That looks like updating to me.

oh, no no no no... you've already stated that AiST uses COMPRESSED footage. So what is it, compressed footage or uncompressed images?

And what the hell is a "finishing" encoder?
