:cool:I can't hadle window xp or vista no more ans after I see what a MacBook pro can do ,I order one is on the way ,but since I never have one before i need some help from the pros is the forum I am going to use primary for video coverting like dvds to avi h264 or any video fili like mkv or ogm to avi I know some software for this already like handbrake the are version for mac but the other like dvd converter pro Jerterware and All TO AVI! dont have any mac suport
I know that wiht boot camp I stiil can use xp for those.
but VMware fusion let me use xp without reboot and there is parallel too
question Wich one do better for this
I got 2.4ghz dual core 4gb ram idon want to start goin crazy doin eperiment an mess thing up some avice please:cool:
 
i dont know why anybody would want to use VM to do video conversion. Its very much CPU intense work, you are better off doing them in a pure environment rather than VM. I would say handbrake, if you need to use windows only app, use bootcamp.
 
Yes you can use Handbrake for your conversion needs. Also check out VisualHub. It's one of the few pieces of software that is worth the price. http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/

The whole Parallels v VMware Fusion has been discussed over and over. Some have attempted to benchmark the two. Purely subjective but I prefer VMware Fusion.
 
thank
