- Is a MacBook Pro going to edit HDV footage with no problem or will it choke on all that data? I don’t want to drop $3000 on an HDV slideshow #
- @garyvee you have a way of stating things that lights the previously dark. #

As long as you load it up with Ram it should be fine. A couple of students in Mary's class was editing Video with their g4's, not HD but still pretty intensive and they were doing okay. So I would say it would do OKAY. Its obviously not going to be as good as a stand alone monster. But for that you will be spending more for anyways. THe good thing is you will be able to upgrade your Video Card with a Macpro. IF 3000 is your budget I would go for the Macbookpro. Loaded with as much Ram as I could put in it. My second choice would be to find a quad g5 and drop the money into that. Which is what I should have done when I build my HTPC. Many good ones on ebay going for about 1500 right now. You cant go wrong with a supercomputer…
I would LOVE to drop the coin on a Mac Pro, but it may be a bit out of my range for now. Maybe looking at them some more will help as the Mac Pro and the 17″ MacBook Pro start at $2799. Maybe a Mac Pro is in my future after all… more thought to be done on this.
