The reason why iMovie '09 works faster on your PM G5 Gorka, is because
it has dual-processor technology, so it runs as if it has two
processor cores. Here is an approximate comparison of processors
today:
PowerPC G5 Quad 2.5Ghz = Intel i7 Quad core 2.93Ghz
PowerPC G5 Dual 1.8Ghz = Intel Pentium du
I have never had a single problem editing to a USB 2 drive ever. And if I
went to FW I
would spend the money on FW 800. they are really fast. But give me solid
state any time I can afford it.

I searched my gmail trash extensively to see what I had missed here.
Thinking I had lost a thread. But none found.
People was commenting their experiences with the iMovie suite. So I threw
mine!
Your subject line mentions a " G5 1.8GHz tower " but the post mentions two
other machines ? ? ?

A few months ago I prepared a 22min video with iMovie 09 in a 2008 15in
MacBookPro. Using an AVCHD camera, it truly taxed the system. All worked
well except for a 3min clip out of synch. I tried everything to try correct
it but to no avail.
The same clip mounted flawlessy in a dual 2GHz PowerM

Hello,
If an increase in RAM sped things up a little, it indicates that the
CPU and not the graphic card is performing most of the tasks. Is the
graphics card a GeForce FX 5200 or a NVIDA GeForce FX 5200 because the
former is not Mac compliant? In any case, the graphics card is at the

To tell you one thing, Mac OS X leopard is really heavy on PPC
computer video cards if they are under 64MB VRAM, more or less the
video performance wouldn't be expected to be normal considering the
fact that the video card you have is original to your machine.

Did you observe with Activity Monitor that your system was memory poor?

Try getting a card with at least 256MB of VRAM. a minimal of an Nvidia
