Look at the requirements for your software when dealing with HD video. Understand that most times they are listing "minimum requirements" so look to see if they post something under "recommended requirements". As far as video cards go (as well as other hardware),  you might want to look at using a better "next model up" then stated to give yourself some headroom.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/avchd-equipment-requirements#post-46198 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 20:33:18 +0000 rxp1933 46198@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> New to AVCHD What spec video card is required for AVCHD. I understand Pinnacle 11 will work with this format.</p>
