Well, I just finished building my new dream computer, and took resolume 2.4 beta for a spin... holy cow. These are very noteworthy results!
3 layers - 640x480 indeo 5.1 + no effects = 75-85 fps
3 layers, all effect channels + all clip effects (total 6 effects) = 35-40 fps
No lag no matter what i do! I'm trying, i really am! I guess it's time to start encoding at 800x600 and see what i can do. Oh, here are my specs...
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 2gb ddr2-5400, 2x74gb 10,000rpm Raptor in RAID 0 for system, 2x74gb 10,000 Raptor in RAID 0 for clips, 2x pci-e Crossfire x1800 gto.
I've never been an intel person until i saw this new processor in action - wow! Read some reviews on it...
