    Hi to All!
    I've searched a huge amount of information about Acer Aspire One A150 and stuck at the deadlock with one question... video editing. I saw mentions, but that sounded like "I use for video editing" and nothing more. So i want to rise up this theme.
    What do we have:
    - Acer Aspire One A150 (in plans)
    - Sonic Founry Vegas 4.0 or any other (it's old, but I got used to it)
    - avi media files from Canon Powershot A610 (the model doesn't matter): MJPEG 640x480@30 fps
    The aim:
    - creation of home-video clips, not exceeding 8 - 10 min
    - applying video effects, sounds & music
    - the final compression on the "Big Brother PC"
    So the task is quite simple, I suppose: A150 + Video Editor + MJPEG 640x480@30 fps = ? (convinience\comfort\performance)
    The screen is rather small, but it doesn't matter, in this particular case.

    Have any ideas? If you have any or other experince of editing video on Acer Aspire One, don't pass by.

    I've edited 1080P hd videos with Adobe Premiere Pro cs3 on AAO 150 before. The editing process is very smooth except for the video preview ( it gets about 2 or 3 fps). The final rendering is painfully slow.

    Editing standard definition video proved to be an easy task for AAO. The rendering speed seems to be on par against pentium 2.0ghz processor.

    Updating information...
    - avi (640x480@30 MJPEG) - the subj runs fine
    - VideoEditing progs: Sony Vegas 4.0, 6.0, Edius 5.0, Avid Liquid - work well.
    - You can comfortly work with standard DVCam signal from the internal\external drives
    - There is a hope, that new netbook-platforms will bring us an ability to work with HD content
