I have a computer that only meets minimum requirements for DV Movie Factory. I am having lots of problems and am blaming my computer. If buying a new system what hardware should I get. Thanks in advance.

What is ideal hardware?
As fast a PC as you can afford - at least 3GHz (rendering will be quicker), at least 512MB RAM, as much disk as you can afford (those AVI, ISO files can quickly fill up your disk, video card is not important - the onboard video will do, a Firewire card or port (for transfer of AVI files, or conversion to MPEG files from your video camera or other analogue to video converter). That's about it!
Hmmm... An upgraded system will run faster. This may help improve analog capture quality. But otherwise, a better system won't automatically improve the quality of your videos or solve your problems. Digital editing is just "number crunching"... a better computer can do the work faster, but the end results will be the same....lots of problems...
Of course, lot's of disk space is nice, and a good video card & monitor will allow you to better see what you are doing to the video.
