 i currently purchased the sony hdr sr12, and am looking to do try my hand at some creative video projects. I will probably post them on youtube, but i will also want to burn them on dvd in the avchd format. (i have a ps3 for playback). my question, i currently have a hp laptop with a 1.46GHz Intel® Celeron® M Processor 410m, 2GB of memory, and a 80gb HDD, 30gb free. (i could free up some more if i had to.)
 is this enough for editing? i am looking into getting the sony vegas 9 software if that will help as i know it natively supports avchd. hard drive space shouldnt be a problem for i will normally delete a project when im finished with it, and have it on dvd. (if it is i will look into a portable HDD).
im not looking into a new computer anytime soon. strapped for cash after getting my desired camcorder. one last question:
if i cant edit it on the highest quality, what quality do you recommend i record at for editing purposes, until i get a newer computer with better compatability?
