edit DV-AVI or WMV?

[Guest]

I want to edit a movie in MM2.
I understand that the DV-AVI is the best quality... but the files are HUGE.

I have enough HD space but I am wondering how demanding it is to edit a 1h
DV-AVI movie.

Does anyone knows if working on a DV-AVI file requires lot more CPU and RAM
than working with a WMV file (with a high bitrate)?
