Answer 1

it will edit just fine .

Answer 2

I am not sure if you CPU is 32 or 64bit. if its 32 then you are stuck with the ram, if you have a 64bitcpu then bang in some more ram, maybe 6gb, (not that expensive) and add another hard drive to use as a scratch drive for your videos it will speed everything up



Also the software you are using is important, never use the minimum requirements always better it.



Good luck

Answer 3

Perhaps Windows Movie Maker can't do that, however, with AVCHD Video Converter, you can edit the AVCHD files.

Answer 4

Sorry, can't tell. AVCHD is a secret codec with no published specs. You might want to check out instead editing software for computer requirements. Won't be cheap, as software developers have to pay a huge licensing fee to get "in" on the secrets.
