You can try Vegas, it is a widely used tool. Or go the pro way with Avid.

What I know is that Win 7 requires 1Gb of Ram.http://windows.microsoft.com/systemrequirements You also need a good CPU. HD clips vary depending on their encoder. If ever you don't want to invest in RAM, try Neo Scene. http://www.cineform.com/neoscene/ I convert all my HDV and AVCHD footage. More RAM is always good, and DDR2 is extremely cheap. I work on a i7 overclocked to 3.6Ghz with 16Gb of DDR3 and everything works like a charm. @vipul: I am not sure.

Never edit over usb/firewire...way too slow. I haven't used CS5 yet, but I don't believe that is the factor for what you are having. I have an overcloked i7 (3.6GHZ) with 12GB of DDR3 1600Mhz. I don't work anymore with my HV30 (sold it), so no more m2t files for me. I am going the DSLR route. If I recall my indexing, it was not taking so long. Maybe your HDD is really slow (5.6k??). 7.2k at least is needed. I have two Raptor HDD in Raid. If you want inexpensive fast drives, go with WD 1TB Black Edition. They are super fast (have over 6 of them for backup/archiving). @Robin Majumdar: Did you transfer the files to your computer’s internal HDD or esata drive? Never edit over usb/firewire…way too slow.

When I play the footage in a player like VLC, everything is fine. When I import it in Premiere, at a certain point I have a red screen. At that point I start having audio syncs. It is a bug in Premiere CS4. I think this does not happened in CS3. In general, if your footage is ok, you are better off exporting the audio in Wave before importing the footage to your NLE. Premiere doesn't tell you anything about dropped frames, unless you capture your footage directly from the camera with it. I am on Windows and Mac. What camera are you using? Again it might be CS3. @Rob Trujillo: I had some audio syncs issues other than dropped frames. When I play the footage in a player like VLC, everything is fine.

In other words, if you don't have any dropped frames, there aren't sync issues? I've never set premiere to abort capture on dropped frames, it just never occured to me, what a GREAT idea! I can't tell you how many hours i've spent sifting through a video looking for where the dropped frames are so i can cut and resync (to audio and the other cameras). Premiere doesn't tell you how many times frames were dropped or where they are located, just that it dropped X frames.. Thanks for the tip. FWIW i don't have problems seeing the capture preview in premiere (cs3) but then, i'm on windows..
