Re: which micro to pick

total noob here...am wanting to do a project that will process high-end
video in real-time (i.e. at least 1024 x 768 or whatever is pretty good
for cameras these days). Can anyone advise me on what a good micro is for
doing this? I'd like to process the video and add effects, then spit them
out in real time.

What kind of effects would that be? There are so many video processing procedures covered by the word "effect" that it means virtually nothing in and of itself.

effects etc. Is there chips that are designed for such a thing, or am I
dreaming about being able to do this with a micro...should I just go with
a PC + capture card for this?

By the time your micro has all the necessary features in terms of processing power, storage capacity, bandwidth and human-machine interface, you'll most probably end up having duplicated most, if not all aspects of a conventional PC. So yes, you had better start the other way round: begin with a PC and remove what you don't need.
