Choosing a laptop/notebook for Bogart Windows.
Having managed to teach my girlfriend the vagaries of Casablanca editing on my S4100, she'd now like to purchase a laptop/Bogart Gold Win8 combo to go forth and edit with. I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend a product, a Windows 8 laptop/notebook style in the 15-17" screen size range and somewhere around the £500-£800 GBP price range ($800-$1300 USD approx.) I'm afraid that kind of thing isn't really my forte...

Go with a Sony Vaio. 17" screen. Powerful and will do the trick. So, I am told.

Window 7 because of the included codec package which Windows 8 offers as a seperate purchase for anyone who does video editing in any application. Not Bogart related. So I am told.

Re: Choosing a laptop/notebook for Bogart Windows.
Thanks for the input chaps, she's got a Windows 8 touchscreen laptop nice new and fast Lenovo model with plenty speed and memory. Obviously the codec issue needs addressing as she keeps getting a message from Windows about not finding the right codec and the playback is therefore low resolution. Does anyone know specifically which codec pack to look for ?

Hi Charles, yes I've kind of fallen out of touch with the film fest and the UK group generally, been a busy bee the last few years. How many years ago was it I sent that S-VHS tape around the group collecting clips for the very first 'film fest' ? Must be a good ten or twelve years now ?Charles wrote:Hi Allen

At the moment I'm making a doc about a karate club, been to Slovakia to film the Scottish rock group Biffy Clyro with a pair of Canon C300's. I'll post a link to that too. No World Cup for me so next up is The Commonwealth Games on the BBC where I still have the day job. Once that's done, just the small matter of producing/directing/editing another rock video for another Glasgow rock band. Phew, it's all go innit ?
