Editing HDV isn't quite that processor intensive especially using the intermediate Cineform codec, so that's not where I feel a speed pinch. It's the encoding to the multiple final formats and sizes that takes forever and ties up the machine for 10+ hours to do it. It helps to have separate and external firewire hard drives that one can easily swap and plug in to different workstations so that way one can be capturing or editing a new scene on one hard drive and one computer while encoding on another external hard drive and another pc. I have individual workstations for hdv editing and hdv encoding and yet another separate one for standard definition editing and tape mastering transferring stills, photo retouching and other duties.
