Speed?

Its worth considering your Pc's Processor speed,repparttar speed will effectrepparttar 147473 rate your video will encode, encoding is where your DV video clips are converted into a more compressed format, for example DVD's are encoded to MPEG2. Sorepparttar 147474 fasterrepparttar 147475 better really. Also considerrepparttar 147476 amount of RAM in your PC, 256Mb would berepparttar 147477 minimum.

Extra Hard Drive Storage

Its worth considering having an extra dedicated drive for your video footage, remember that five minutes of DV footage uses 1GB of hard drive space so consider a large capacity hard drive such as an 80Gb or 120Gb, also considerrepparttar 147478 disk drive RPM, at least 7200RPM would be recommended. If your PC supports it (most new ones do now), then a Serial ATA (SATA) drive will offer increased date transfer rates of up to 150MB/sec compared to 100 or 133 offered byrepparttar 147479 IDE drives, you may also consider a SCSI drive if you’re PC has an SCSI adapter as standard.

DVD/CD Burners

If your planning on putting your film onto CD-ROM (VCD), or DVD then a CDRW or DVDRW is an essential piece of kit, most new pc's may have a CDRW or DVDRW as standard, to burn your DVD, you'll need DVD authoring software. Video Editing Cards If you have and older analogue video camera/deck then an analogue USB or PCI capture cards will suffice. These dedicated analogue to digital converters take process of conversion away fromrepparttar 147480 CPU and therefore speeds up transfer. If worth getting a quality capture card asrepparttar 147481 cheaper cards can produce mixed results,

The Video Editing Software

PreparedStatement gives better performance when compared to Statement because it is pre-parsed and pre-compiled. This means that compilation and parsing of such statement is done only once byrepparttar database. Afterwardsrepparttar 147413 database reusesrepparttar 147414 already parsed and compiled statement. This significantly improvesrepparttar 147415 performance because whenever a statement has to be executed repeatedly, it doesn't need to be parsed and compiled time and again. Sorepparttar 147416 overload incurred by parsing and compilingrepparttar 147417 same statement can be reduced.

When there is a requirement for single request to process multiple complex statements, CallableStatement gives better performance as compared to PreparedStatement and Statement.
