Video Editing Software

[wcj]

I have tried Video Studio 11 on Windows Vista 64-bit and the DV video capture will not work. I also tried (and purchased) DVD MovieFactory 6+ and it would not capture video. However, both products work fine on Windows XP 32-bit. Have you been able to capture video from a DV camcorder on Vista x64?

Yes... since upgrading. I can run capture and burn from VS11.5+ on Vista 64 bit.

There are patches for the purchased version if you are trying out the TBYB.

Perhaps I can help with any specific problems

I capture from a Panasonic NV-GS180- Dv-AVI files

That must be it. I was using the TBYB version (which has since expired). I was actually trying to use DVD MovieFactory 6+ (which I purchased). And the purchased software has problems with the DV capture. The software runs fine on Windows XP 32-bit, but on Vista 64-bit does not. I have submitted multiple e-mails to corel support and finally they admitted that there was an issue with "driver incompatibilities" on Vista 64-bit. After that I have not heard back from them.

I am hesitant to purchase another product from Corel, but if VS will work on Vista 64 I may give it a try when version 12 comes out.

Thanks for your help!

Whoa $110 is a lot. I'll give it a try but i think its outta my price range.

Hey I can tell you that you should stay away from Vegas software for now. It's great but will not run with vista 64. Some vegas software will work with vista 32. I am where you are right now I have Vegas 6 and I can't use it on my new hp notbook which has vista 64.
I am looking forward to whenever they build a compatable version. Hope this helps some one. You can go to your computer maker and get a down grade to vista32 but that would suck. It also brakes any warranty.

I have bought Pinnacle studio 12 ultimate and it works great on Vista. Off topic, a freeware video editing option is using Ubuntu Studio. It's a Linux install completly tuned for video editing. I will give the Ubuntu Studio install a try. The freeware part sound good...
