hello
i have now enough from my pentium 4 2,6 ghz 1 GB computer with windows, cause, rendering a video with a length of about 3 minutes takes up to 1 hour, so i decided to buy a mac, the only thing is that resolume wouldnt run anymore is the version 2.0 planed to be on mac?
or should i use flowmotion instead

resolume 2.0 will not run on a mac ...
but rendering your video will still take long .. in fact i have never met anyone who bought a mac because it is faster, (its not) only because it is pretty (it is)
ooh don,t let this tread turn in a mac vs pc war!

Well i guess it depends on what you render....
I have 2 macs, a power mac g4 and powerbook.. They are bout 3 years old. And doing stuff on them is slowly coming to a halt.
Right now am using a p4 2.8. Kinda switch over cause you can get a pc for about half the price for a similarly speed mac.
For me, i dont consider getting a mac or pc over their speed. But rather for their colors.
As i do design, the mac is better for print design as the color is match better to the commercial printer i use. But for web, i use a pc as most of the target audience out there uses a pc.
Bit of side line, i don't really like os x interface. Too much eye candy and uses too much cpu resources. I still stick to os 9 but software is slowly getting out dated.
cheers

if a three minute video is taking one hour to render on a P4, 2.6 Ghz, you have serious problems with your computer. i have the same processor and it takes no more than 10 minutes to render clips for resolume.

bah.. quite strange... how can you say how a 3 min video take to render if you don't know of what kind of video are we talking: the software, compositing, 3d render, particle effects, grain, there are a lot of variebles..
(mac are good only for publishing just because service still use only them)
bye
