hi

I often edit videos and interviews etc on my powermac g5 - and I often find myself having to wait for videos to render.

I'd like to edit other videos from other powermac while it's rendering.

Would it be possible to connect wirelessly to my powermac g5 from my powermac g4 - and edit the videos over the network connection? or would it be slow?

Better, but still might take a while to copy over.

Why don't you just try it and see ?

If you have g-standard wireless (which is all the G4 supports), you're looking at transfer rates of 1-3 megabytes/sec.

Standard-def DV is about 13 gigabytes per hour.
