Mine is a 3Ghz (overclocked) machine too, but my clips are edited in 5-10 minutes sequences and compiled into a 10-20 chapters DVD.

BTW, I was also an ex-user of IOMega Buz . Yea, good hardware, bad driver and ugly support! Luckily 1n 1998 my required final output was VCD, and TMpegEnc did a nice job of deinterlacing and encoding. I later switched to a Philips SAA 7134 chipset capture card and never looked back. Indeed it is still my capture card via S-video input.
