XP64 drivers
A couple of months ago after upgrading my workstation to 2xOpteron 275 i switched to XP64. I mailed BlackMagicDesign to ask if there was a driver for my DeckLink Pro card to work under XP64, no such luck.
I contacted them again a couple of days ago and their reaction was in short: This is not a priority for us and we will most likely not support XP64 in the near future.Am i the only one using XP64 here or is there anyone who found a way to get this to work. (i heard stories of Linux drivers being adapted to work in XP64).
Can anyone help me on this? -

Hallo,
I have 4GB of RAM but can only use about 3GB. This would not be a problem with WinXP x64.
Everyone knows that you need much RAM for HD.
And if BMD says there would be no advantages of x64, I can proof the opposite.
Since Combustion version 4 you can access up to 4GB of RAM instead of only 2GB. Lightwave has a new 64Bit version and Cinema4D too. Which is indispensable for large scenes.
BMD can say that Premiere Pro 1.5 cannot use the 64Bit extensions. On the other hand even without this, it works in XP64 as a 32bit software without issues.You said a few month ago that no one would have an advantage of WinXP x64 but time has changed and now people would have advantages of it.
BTW on IBC2005 someone of the BMD Team promised that a driver for WinXP 64-bit would be delivered about one or two month after IBC. Where are these drivers now?

Hi Michael,
I pretty much agree with what you are saying. XP 64 is in our dev schedule for early next year. A great deal of time has been taken up recently with Multibridge Extreme but since we shipped yesterday – there are more resources that have been “released” which we can now allocate to new projects such as XP 64.
Cheers,
Regards,
