I'm surprised that an external HD would be faster. We don't need the iMac for anything other than video editing, web browsing and some schoolwork - if we can network it over to a printer on a Windows box. Plus working on an external HD is usually faster than the internal drive. A dedicated external HD will be a nice extra so Max can work on his files elsewhere if necessary. It can be a challenge to upgrade the internal hardware of an iMac, but I am not sure it will be necessary. If Max learns iMovie (and it is easy) upgrading to FC will be a snap. I have only used iMovie and haven't really run up against a challenge it couldn't handle.

In fact I usually have a bunch of other apps open at the same time and have no trouble. I use a 3-year-old iMac to do video editing with no problems whatsoever.

I tried unsuccessfully to pull VOB files into iMovie.

Some are VOB, BUP and IFO files, which I think are the standard DVD format. The high school produces video in several formats. We'd be buying the Mac from an Apple Store, so if there are service or training plans to get (or avoid), that advice would be helpful too.

I have a few questions for Mac gurus reading this post: As a Windows and Linux guy, I'm not sure what we need to purchase.

Since my sons all have an interest in filmmaking, thanks to YouTube, we're going to buy an iMac that will be devoted to editing video and find classes to help them nurture their inner Akira Kurosawa. The athletic department devotes an Apple iMac to this purpose and also has some Windows 7 laptops. My son Max has volunteered to help athletes at his high school edit video of their game highlights to send to colleges.
