If the moderators will allow me I will discuss briefly my experience using vs 15 and my new computer.
My Gateway FX 6860 computer is classed as a high end gaming computer. My CPU is intel I-7 quad core 3.4 GHZ 2600. MY main disc ( C: i.e. disc 0 ) is a solid state 128 GB My data disc ( D:) is 2 tera bytes 7600 RPM. Memory is 16 GiG DDR3. Video card is Nvidia GTX 560 TI 1.28 Gig on board memory. I am running Windows 7 home premium 64 bits. All in all a pretty mean machine.
Corel Video Studio PRO 15 loaded super fast with no problem. All acceleration is on auto. I have no difficulty with any of the features of VS 15 so far. Rendering 1 hour of even the stated auto 3D Blu Ray or 3D AVCHD (huge files !!!) executes in just a little over an hour. Now that is what I call fast.
AS for burning DVD s, I have not tried yet. I am going the trend which is copying to USB keys (32 and 64 GIG) and plugging them in the USB port of my Blu RAY DVD player (Samsung BD-E5900). That is also really fast.
Handling video on my system is now an easy and fast task. That is why I bought this computer in the first place as I am not a gaming enthusiast. It sure can handle my Sony full HD 3D camera with ease. I do not use the Sony supplied PMB software as it takes forever (relatively) I use windows drag and drop copy and download only the video file (super fast !!!). This does not present any problem so far.
My other computer was a MSI KT6 Delta with windows XP home and AMD XP 3.1 1 GIG of ram It was pretty good at handling MPEG 2 but has no comparison with my new system.
Now if I can only find a way to create 3D video that will literally pop out of my computer the way my Sony 3D camera does when I connect it directly to my 3D TV via the supplied HDMI cable I will be in 7th heaven.
