Mac vs. PC: Digital Video Editing Comparison

Posted by michael on from the cut-and-splice dept.

mnemonic writes "DigitalVideoEditing.com has posted its third Mac vs. PC comparison, dealing with performance in After Effects and Photoshop, graphics applications one might expect the Mac to be significantly faster in. It should be noted that the author, Charlie White, is a long-time PC supporter and disliker of Macs, though, as he shows, this preference is for as legitimate reasons as the ones devoted Mac users cite to disparage PC's. Ace's Hardware has another comparison that goes further in depth into the specifics of the G4, P4 and Athlon processors. As when comparing any two pieces of hardware, it's important to think not only of the relationship between performance and specification, but performance and price."

    Is this an architectural problem or is it the level of software engineering? When I first saw a Mac (the very first one, mind you), I got put off by its "programmer unfriendly environment". Given that, my resources got diverted to more interesting platforms. I wonder how common is that and what it means to the level of software engineering today.
