The main reason I didn't use it before was because I really didn't like the quality of the videos, and I'm kind of picky about resolution. Maybe now I can save myself the trouble I spend downloading videos and just watch them on youtube. Sweet, now I might have to jump the youtube bandwagon like the rest of the population.

I've got to pause the video, let it load about a third and THEN play it. Small hassle, but a hassle nonetheless.

I had VirtualDub doing it's thing appending 2x 700Mb AVI's into one file, AutoGK converting a VOB file to AVI and TMPGENc Authoring Works 4 authoring a DVD. Maximum CPU used was about 50% with about the same for RAM usage. If I need a fast computer to use HD video I think I'll be OK :) Only thing I need now? An HD camera :( Out of curiosity, I tested out my Intel Quad Q6700 with 6Gb’s RAM the other day:
