Terje…before I respond I want to preface this with the fact that this is not a jab at you personally, just my analytical response to your response and many, many like it on many forums. Please don’t be offended. 🙂

This response is a little generic, don’t you think? We don’t even know what he is using to try to capture his video. If he is using Vegas 6, or even 7, neither of these products are officially supported in Vista. I happen to run Vegas 7 on Vista with very few problems, but I understand I am in an unsupported configuration, and problems are likely.

As for the printer issues, again, this is a vendor support issue, not a Vista problem. Vista is not without its problems, but probably has very little (directly) to do with these issues (and most issues that are blamed on the OS in webland). Vista itself is not a “beta” product, as you suggested (IMHO), but some ISV (third party) support is lacking right now. Sort of hard to believe considering it took 5 years for Vista to be released…how were so many ISVs not ready?

Anyway…I just piped in because reactionary posts like this don’t really support the facts. SP1 won’t do anything to help his printing issues, or make Vegas 7 magically start being supported. Both of these things can only be fixed (in a supportable way) by the vendors themselves, and blaming Vista for this, in my opinion, is both disingenuous and somewhat unhelpful in the general scheme of things.

As for the original post…not sure what you are attempting to capture with, but if you want to use Vista, use something that is supported in Vista, and you will likely have much better luck. Vegas 8 will support Vista, if you can wait. As for the printer driver…you can see if there are any unofficial drivers out there that might work…but other than that, without the support of the manufacturer, your likely out of luck. I would voice my displeasure to a company VP or the like and hope other customer do as well…that may pursuade them to change their minds on this.

Good luck.
