Friends,
My gf bought me a little Samsung HD videocam, and I tried it out the other night for a New Year's Eve show. Recorded an hour set at 1080 onto an 8gb sdhc card. I plugged the cam into my PC, a Sony Vaio desktop that I purchased new in Fall 2001. Running Win XP.
When you plug the camera in (USB 2.0), it automatically uploads a video editing software program Intelli-something or another. I exported the video to the PC. Looks like the camera automatically divided the 60 mins into roughly three (3) chapters of 18 mins, so I have three videos.
When I play it back, the video is all choppy whereas when I hooked it up to the TV, it plasys back fine.
Question: what components on my PC do I need to upgrade? Video card? Its running a Nividea GeForce 2 Maxx 400. Also, my RAM may be capped at 512 mb, which is what I currently have in there.
Time for a new PC? Or can I make this work with a few new parts?
