    Just thinking the same thing. I have CS4 Master Collection arriving next week. I know when I was beta testing CS3, a new Decklink driver had to developed to make it work with CS3. The CS2 ones didn’t work, but hopefully it will not a problem this time.

    Hi Peter,

    You’ll definitely need new CS4 compatible drivers. The current drivers for CS3 will not work. Other than that, all I can say is that we’re definitely working on it.

    Ouch! Any idea of a time frame, Kristian? Particularly for Vista 64?

    hey Peter if you want to live on the cusp of new technology there is some pain and suffering you have to endure… but my theory is that if earlier version drivers won’t work with later software packages it is a good sign that they have re-worked the interface for the better… but it is Adobe we are talking about here isn’t it…. and they can sometimes send the BMD engineers into a never ending loop!

    What would I do without the ‘UNDO’ button!!!!

    Just got my copy of CS4 to find no support 🙁 Really need some drivers asap or will have to go back to older version.

    I tried the current CS3 drivers but like you, but no go. If you look in the right CS4 folder, you’ll see the presets have different extensions from CS3.

    Forgot about those darn drivers…

    After months of deliberating, I am making the leap from PC to Mac. Ordered a Mac Pro, Multibridge Pro and CS4 which will be here on Nov 7. Didn’t realize the CS4 drivers arent out yet. Any chance they will be out by Friday 🙂

    Wishful thinking. So do I stay with CS3 and install the blackmagic card. Or do I install CS4 and pray that the Mac Pro with dual quad 3.0mhz processors keeps up with HDV/XDCAM. I would rather install the CS4 and grin and bear it for a few weeks. However if it is going to be a couple of months, I would like to advantage of the blackmagic card I have.

    Thoughts?
