I am trying to figure out a pretty frustrating problem I have with
editing HD video. I have a Canon HV-10 which uses HDV and I'm tryin
to get some video I've taken onto my computer.

Here's a little background on my system.

OS: Vista Ultimate
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+
RAM: 2Gigs in Dual Mode
HD: 300 Gig 7200 SATA
Video: Nvidia GeForce 8600GT (256 GDDR3)

I've tried using most of the video editing software titles and I seem
to get the same problem: really jumpy video

Here are the titles I've tried:

Adobe Premier Pro CS3 (I did this a while ago, so I'm not totally
confident it was just as jumpy as others)
Windows Movie Maker (Vista Edition)
Ulead
Pinnacle
Vegas 8

So, I'm thinking the reason it's so poor is because of my slower CPU,
can anyone verify this as a 'most likely' hypothesis? Or, does anyone
know of any other possible reasons for my computer poor handling of
HDV video?

Thanks,
