  RE: VHS Transfer and Editing Inquiry
  @hdrechsel18 Make sure you purchase the version specifically for Magix products and the install will "know" exactly where to put all the necessary files (including at least one in the Magic .vfx folder). Then, when you next open MEP or VPX it will

  Interesting. Peter's CPU is as fast as Ray's, clock-wise. But only 4 core. (Altho HT'd.) So I'm thinking almost even in the CPU Department. I would be curious to know from Ray if all his cores go to 100% during that one effect in the middle of the

  @pmikep Some thoughts on benchmark videos: I don't have the patience to wait for a 15 minute decode, especially since MEP doesn't report the Elapsed Time after the video is done. I tend to agree that Ray's project is not ideal as a standard but

  RE: 36 Hours of Testing MEP Premier Settings For Playback and Export.
  Hi All My view is that the drive speed discussion is a dead duck - using my example: a 400MB file encoded over 2 minutes means that it is writing to the export drive at about 3MB / sec so what drive would have a problem with that! I agree with John
