G4 in digitalvideo editing

[Obi]

Does any of you have any experience in Machintosh G4 on digitalvideo editing?
How do you like it?
Compare it to PC with Windows NT and Firewire card, wich is better?

I?ve been working with a G4 for about 6 months and I can?t find any problems using it! One of the negative sides is the rendering time, but u will get the same on a PC. U have to remember that the Mac is many times faster than a regular home PC. I have also tried Miro Video DC cards and the Fire-Wire quality is much better than using a composite or S-VHS Input, so there is no loss in picture quality. The program I use on the Mac is Adobe Premiere 5.5. So if u are thinking 'bout weather u should by a Mac or a PC I would strongly recomend the Mac for it?s stabillity and speed.

I agree. For Grafix work the Mac is far better than a PC.

And how about Finalcut pro? I've read specs and it sounds better than premiere. Have you any experience on it?
