It's not that we don't know what pixellation or distortion are...
It's that these two things have absolutely nothing to do with using a Mac vs a PC

That said I'd like to reiterate that for non-professional editing, mac is no better than pc (and vice versa)

Get a PC if you are doing it for fun.

Get a Mac if you want to start a career in video editing. It is the industry standard. You'll be using either Final Cut Pro or Avid. Plus it is also a PC (after buying a copy of Windows of course).

Avid's a little too overboard for editing amvs. Plus it doesn't accept AVS scripts or huffy/lagarith.

Holy shit necropost. :shock:

But well, if it accepts H.264 inside of m2ts, I think you're good regardless (lossless x264 IS an option). It's actually what I'm thinking about doing in Premiere - since editing m2ts with AVC inside is what the industry does, all the professional NLE got top notch frame-accurate fast seeking of it, which makes it a better choice over huffyuv and lagarith in premiere (adobe doesn't care much for them, since they are the options that hobbists use, so their support is somewhat limited).

(Necroposting again)

Just to clarify, "MAC" is a brand of makeup. the computing platform is Macintosh or Mac for short.

MAC is a cosmetics brand. Mac is the superior computing platform. It's not an acronym.

.. the resolution is determined by your Monitor 'not your Video Card :nono:

MAC or PC can work with almost any Video Card but, your Monitor can kill THAT Issue!
The largest screen available to my Video Card is 3200 X 2400. My Monitor is designed
for 1080p. Anything larger than 1920 X 1080 @ 85 fps is pointless. Both my PC & MAC
are set to 1080p @ 60 fps. Any other setting will not look right. :beer:

P.S. unless you know something Engineers haven't designed yet AND made public.
