That makes sense. I'm not quite sure about how to determine the GOP of already existing files, but I see that at least MeGUI defaults to very high GOP numbers, and I imagine the files I am editing are pretty similar. I'll run some tests recoding with low GOP numbers, but my hope is to use original videos, and thus avoid recoding all together.
Do you think getting a faster video card (I have a 9500 GT) would make much difference? If so, what would be more important - processor MHz or number of "stream processors" it can handle?
