yes.. its not here.. I ordered my son's macmini (intel) and fixing to trade my efika for a g4 mac mini so they're not here yet.
To be honest I'd seriously avoid the G4.... It's so underpowered compared to the intel machines...
True but it's more than capable of doing the job specified here and if he's getting it at a serious discount compared to the Macintel I'd say go for it. I've seen second-hand G4s for under a hundred quid - fantastic value for money.
I've also edited audio and video with iMovie on a G4 iBook and it was fine.
A G4 will work... but I'm finding my old 1.5Ghz G4 PowerBook increasingly pointless... I do try and use it just to justify keeping it around... but Soon I think I'll format it and put it in a cupboard and run it as a Home Server :-)
I don't think it's a good idea getting such an old machine now... an intel MacMini is just so much more useful..
Pretty straightforward too. Form memory, you'd just load the video into iMovie, separate the audio and export it to, e.g. Garageband. Then you make your alterations and re-import it to iMovie. Piece-a-pish. ;-)
Easier, just load the video in to iMove, then drop the audio envelope out at the required place... and put a Beep sound on a separate audio channel in the place if you want to have something there :-)
Piece-a-pish (tm)
