[QUOTE="altyson, post: 24099, member: 2560"] I am a current PC user and have just recently started to do DVD. First project, convert the VHS tapes to DVD. I have a Dell P4 1.8 MZ with 512 Ram and 2 80 Gig hard drives. I use Pinnacle software. After I do my editing it will take 4-5 hrs to render the movie then I have to burn it. 1.Can anyone tell me how long it would take on a Mac? 2.What software do you use? This is only a hobby for me. 3. Are 2 drives better than one? Pinnacle said they are faster with 2 drives. 4. Is the Superdrive that much better than standard? 5. What essential programs should I get? 6. The Apple LCD screen is very expensive. Is there that much difference between Apple and another brand? I am considering a G5 dual processor with 1 gig ram and 250 Superdrive. I want to try to get the best for $ at this time. I sure hate to do the conversion from the PC. I know that I will have to buy MAC software and all the other programs that I use. I'm sure they must be available for MAC OS some of them are shareware. I am also tired of the freeze ups and conflicts. Thanks for the help Al [/QUOTE]
