Video Editing Laptop
What would be the best laptop for video editing?
I know this is a very general question, but in your opinion, what is the best laptop under $ 1300 is good for editing video (also would use it for school work, web browsing, movies and music)? But I could not get a better laptop with components thats not much better a Mac for cheaper?
Well, I heard many good things about Apple, and I am sure they are good for video editing but Macs are generally expensive. If you prefer to get a PC, I know the perfect for you. It is an HP Pavilion dv6000 (also called the "HP Pavilion Entertainment PC"). It cost me $ 1209 with all taxes, but included a free HP in-One Printer (scanner, etc.). There are many free programs included. This is not a call Cyberlink Power Producer, is by far the best I've used yet. I did a full DVD for my friend's birthday, with the contents of it. It has a full DVD menu, background and his habit of me, and I chose the scene that I want on each page, and style of buttons, etc. It even has background music on the menu. It allows me to do the scenes, add captions, add transition effects, add audio, add music, add video, images, etc. You can even add effects as snow, rippling water, and much more. You can capture content directly from the program because there is a built in webcam and microphone. You can even capture the content of video cameras attached to the draft, which automatically detects subject. I Honestly Love this team, and look forward to producing even more videos. Even if you are doing something simple, you can. It can extract audio from video as well. Also you can save as many file types, depending what they are doing the video (DVD data disc, etc.) and the laptop has 250 GB hard drive, and 3GM RAM, never runs, runs smoothly. It also has fingerprint scanner, works amazingly well. My HP notebook is designed for my next 5 years of college, so hopefully it lasts:) And it has many free programs, I have not tried them all yet.

Part I. Get AVCHD files off HD camcorder to Mac
To play AVCHD video files on your Mac, you first need to download them in HD Mac desktop or laptop. It's easy with iMovie:
1. Connect your camcorder Mac with the cable (USB / WiFi).
2. Select the video camera mode, such as PC / PC.
3. iMovie automatically opens the import window.
4. If DVD Player automatic open, just quit DVD Player first.
5. So now, you can review your video or select "Import All" (make sure the switch is set to "Automatic").
6. If you select "Manual", you can import some clip to iMovie.
7. If importing a tape-based device (DV / HDV), iMovie automatically review all the tape and import.
8. iMovie automatic create thumbnail video after the import total.
iMovie automatically detects when you have a camera FireWire video online. If the message No camera connected, make sure the camera is on and properly connected to your computer via a cable FireWire and the camcorder is set to VCR, VTR, or Play mode.
Part II. View AVCHD on Mac
Player VLC is a completely free software that should already have in your Mac to play lots of different video and audio formats, much more than QuickTime and DVD. Just run this application, select File> Open File, select the VIDEO_TS folder that you, and that's good! Grab some popcorn and watch your AVCHD now.
Part III. Edit AVCHD footage on Mac
AVCHD camcorders had been out since mid-2006 the First Edition fully capable software of images is only available with the recent release of Sony Vegas, 9 editing software for Windows. Ok, so the software can be used to edit AVCHD on Mac, including Snow Leopard?
If your budget allows, make iMovie for editing AVCHD video, but There are two fundamental requirements. First, make sure you have iMovie '09 or later software. The limiting factor for the use of other hardware is iMovie. You need a Mac with an Intel Core Duo processor-based or later to edit AVCHD in iMovie '09. Mac Power PC G5 or more will not work for editing high definition AVCHD with iMovie.
Final Cut Pro is the perfect choice for any Mac video editing Final Cut Pro 7 is the most Update on support for AVCHD date available, with 6.0.1 being the first version of FCP with AVCHD support. Make sure that you have installed Final Cut Pro 7 is your best bet to ensure you have a great experience of editing with AVCHD and FCP.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 is another option. Although he has returned Now to the Mac or the Mac or Windows versions compatible with the AVCHD format, there were quite a few rumors indicate smooth playback AVCHD video and editing depends entirely on the performance of your system. Most laptops that work well with AVCHD editing, but are not as smooth as a reproduction of a desk edge.
So what is the best, iMovie, FCP, Adobe Premiere? Well, I personally prefer iMovie Final Cut Pro for editing AVCHD on a Mac It makes editing easier and helps bring out your more creativity!
Part IV. Converting AVCHD on Mac
Camcorders Save AVCHD high-definition video formats and TS M2TS, causing problems in the future - for example, if you find that YouTube ™ will not support the file format AVCHD video to upload, and most portable players as well.

There are several formats / bit rate / options screen resolution in the Settings window. Different file formats lead to different types of video compression. Bit rate refers to the number of bits processed per unit time, the higher the number, the more bits of processing and better quality. Resolution refers to the number of pixels by the screen the device.
Step 3. Start conversion
Finally, the 'click' Start 'button. The progress bar shows the status of the conversion task. The program will prompt you when the task is completed the conversion, then click OK.

 Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop (OLD VERSION) List Price: DescriptionMacBook Pro is even more powerful with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Up to 200GB of storage(2) and 2GB of RAM make the MacBook Pro bigger on the inside and faster than ever. Next-generation NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics and 802.11n-based AirPort Extreme wireless capabilities(3) keep it on the cutting edge. And now Multi-Touch technology comes to the MacBook Pro in an advanced trackpad. Encased in lightweight aluminum and one inch thin, the MacBook Pro packs astounding performance into a stunning design. (1) Wireless Internet access requires a base station or other wireless access point and Internet access; fees may apply. Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort Extreme. 21GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less. (3) Based on an IEEE 802.11n draft specification. Wireless Internet access requires a base station or other wireless access point and Internet access; fees may apply. Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort Extreme. (4) Based on an IEEE 802.11n draft specification. Wireless Internet access requires a base station or other wireless access point and Internet access; fees may apply. Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort Extreme. Actual performance will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors. Range will vary with site conditions. Stylishly and intelligently designed for mobile professionals, Apple's MacBook Pro now includes Apple's Multi-Touch technology (which debuted with the MacBook Air), allowing you to pinch, swipe, or rotate to enlarge text, advance through photos, or adjust an image. And it gets a serious speed bump from Intel's latest 2.4 GHz 45-nanometer Penryn series Core 2 Duo processor, which also helps to reduce power requirements and save on battery life. This model (MB133LL/A ) also has a mercury-free, power-efficient LED-backlit display measuring 15.4 inches and a state-of-the art NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT video card with 256 MB of GDDR3 video RAM. The 15-inch MacBook Pro offers a mercury-free, power-efficient LED-backlit display with an antiglare finish that's perfect for color-minded professionals. Meticulously designed and encased in sleek and sturdy aluminum, the MacBook Pro measures just 1 inch thin and weighs 5.4 pounds. Your hands have room to spread out on the full-size keyboard with crisp, responsive keys, and the MacBook Pro has a built-in ambient light sensor that adjusts the keyboard and display brightness so it’s easy to work in low-light settings. Other standard Apple "extras" includes a built-in iSight video camera and Apple's magnetically connected MagSafe power adapter, which safely disconnects when under strain. It's pre-loaded with Apple's Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system, which enables easy backup of your most important data via Time Machine, a redesigned desktop that helps eliminate clutter. It also comes with the iLife '08 suite of applications--including iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, and iTunes--and the newest version of the fast-loading Safari web browser. Other hardware features include a 200 GB hard drive, 2 GB of installed RAM (which can be upgraded to 4 GB), an 8x combo Superdrive (for burning dual-layer DVDs as well as CDs), built-in Gigabit Ethernet for high-speed networking, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), FireWire 400 and 800 ports, DVI video output, and an ExpressCard/34 expansion card slot for expansion solutions such as 3G wireless networking. Apple Innovations The MacBook Pro is the culmination of years of refining hardware and software design to an integrated art, and Apple's Multi-Touch technology is just the latest innovation to be added to it. The advanced trackpad now allows you to flip through photos, enlarge text, and adjust an image using just your fingers. It also comes with a MagSafe power adapter connector, which offers a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So, if you happen to trip over a power cord, you won't send MacBook Pro flying off a table or desk--the cord simply disconnects, without damage to either the cord or the system. The magnetically connected MagSafe power adapter breaks cleanly away, without damage to either the cord or the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has battery life that rivals most notebooks in its class. If you'd like to make that battery last even longer, Mac OS X has a few tricks up its sleeve. Go to System Preferences, click Energy Saver, and change battery optimization from Normal to Better Battery Life. Or tell MacBook Pro to reduce its screen brightness and give yourself a little more time untethered. Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Experience improved energy efficiency, expanded wireless connectivity, and amazing battery life with the 45nm Penryn series Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 processor, which has a 2.40 GHz processor speed, super-fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and a large 3 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) The new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--conserves even more energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet. With a substantial 3 MB of shared L2 cache, data and instructions can be kept close to the two processor cores, greatly increasing performance and allowing the entire system to work more efficiently. And, because the processor cores share the L2 cache, either can use the entire amount if the other happens to be idle. Your hands have room to spread out on the full-size keyboard with crisp, responsive keys. Hard Drive and Memory The 200 GB Serial-ATA (SATA) hard drive (5400 RPM) quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0. The 2 GB of PC5300 DDR2 RAM (two SO-DIMMs of 1024 MB) have an industry-leading 667 MHz speed, and the RAM capacity can be increased to 4 GB. Wireless Connectivity The built-in 802.11n wireless networking provides up to five times the performance and twice the range of 802.11g, but it's also backward-compatible with 802.11a/b/g routers, enabling you to communicate with the a wide variety of Wi-Fi resources. It works seamlessly with the new AirPort Extreme with 802.11n. Use the built-in Bluetooth wireless technology to connect to your PDA or cell phone, synchronize addresses, or download pictures from your cell phone. You can also use a wireless headset for iChat audio chats and VoIP calls as well as quickly share files with a colleague. Display and Graphics The 15.4-inch widescreen TFT display offers a native resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels and an antiglare widescreen display that's perfect for color-minded professionals. The display is backlit by light emitting diodes (LEDs), which gives it a lighter weight and more power efficiency than the cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) which most notebooks employ. It's also better for the environment, thanks to its new mercury-free display. Video and graphics are powered by the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT card, which is boosted by 256 MB of GDDR3 SDRAM. GDDR3 (Graphics Double Data Rate, version 3) is a graphics card-specific memory technology that's better able to deliver fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications. The GeForce 8600M GT brings a new level of realism to the MacBook Pro with its 16-lane PCI Express architecture, 16x full screen anti-aliasing, 128-bit High Dynamic Range rendering, and a texture fill rate of up to 8.2 billion per second. Video Conferencing with Built-in iSight Artfully placed in the display bezel is an iSight camera, which enables easy video conferencing as well as allows you to snap pictures of yourself and create video podcasts. Using the iChat AV application, video conferencing is integrated into your iChat buddy list, so initiating a video conference is a breeze. iChat also lets you hold audio chats with up to 10 people and provides high-quality audio compression and full-duplex sound so conversation can flow naturally. For video podcasting, you can record a short clip using the iSight camera, then use iWeb to create a video blog entry or post your GarageBand-recorded podcast. Connect to your network, a desktop monitor and all your peripherals with two USB 2.0, one FireWire 400, one FireWire 800, one DVI video output, and one Gigabit Ethernet. Other Features Two USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire 400, one FireWire 800, ExpressCard/34 slot DVI output port; VGA output using included DVI to VGA adapter 8x slot-loading SuperDrive with the following write speeds: 8x DVD±R; 4x DVD±R DL (double layer); 4x DVD±RW; 24x CD-R; 10x CD-RW Backlit keyboard with ambient light sensors for automatic adjustment of keyboard illumination and screen brightness Internal omnidirectional microphone and built-in speakers Combined optical digital output/headphone out (minijack) Combined optical digital input/audio line in (minijack) 60-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery (with integrated charge indicator LEDs) providing up to 6 hours of battery life Kensington cable lock slot Measures 14.1 x 9.6 x 1 inches (WxDxH) and weighs 5.4 pounds (including battery) Preloaded with Leopard, you'll enjoy enhanced productivity and a clutter-free desktop (thanks to the redesigned 3-D Dock with Stacks).
