  Vista 64

  Posted by Kris Zimbelman on January 17, 2009 at 4:26 pm

  can anyone here tell me whether or not Vegas 4.0 will operate in a Windows 64-bit environment? I have already done a search on this forum and have not been able to find anything.in the future I hope to update to the latest version of Vegas. Can you tell me if this computer has the horsepower necessary to work with high-definition codecs?

  I don’t believe that Vegas 4 supports HD so you may be stopped right there. As for your computer, which high-definition codecs are you intending to use? It may be OK for HDV but not AVCHD which is very demanding on even QuadCore computers.

  sorry for any confusion that my post has created. It is actually a two-part question. I have some standard definition projects that I hope to complete on this computer with Vegas 4.I understand that some programs are not happy in the 64-bit environment. I intend to upgrade to Vegas 8, 9 or 10 whenever I purchased a high-definition camcorder.

  I’ve installed Vegas 4 on Vista 32 and it has a problem with not finding one of the older windows media DLL’s (which I assume Vista doesn’t have anymore). It does work for editing DV. I did not try capture. I’m not sure what additional problems 64-bit will bring. You should be prepared for some things not to work with Vegas 4 in Vista just because Vegas 4 is so old and relies on old technologies like Quicktime 5 and Windows Media 6 which aren’t around anymore on Vista.
