XP on a Vista Laptop to run E4.61

[harveylexton]

Sony has replaced my VGN AR21S which had XP and was working o.k with E4.16, and the replacement has Vista, can I put XP on and select it on startup also if this is not possible then how can I scrap Vista and put XP on with E4?

It has 2 x 160G hdd's and these seem to have been raided by Sony as it shows 1 x disc at 290 Gig

Any ideas on how I can get E4 on this machine. E4 doesn't work on Vista.

If this can't be done I will very upset with Canopus/GV for not bringing drivers out for Vista, and I will have to dump GV and switch to Adobe.

Edius works with vista. I have been using it for a long time.
It is not "officially" supported but it works.
A few of my friend here on the forum also use it. :)

Also if you take a look at the Edius roadmap you will see that Edius will be officially supported under vista sooner rather then later.

Thanks Steve, I have tried to put on my e4 upgrade and it asks for my e3 serial number to confirm the upgrade and then it doesn't recognise the serial number, maybe I should install e3 and then up to E4 upgrade

[SRsupport]

Strange I would not install version 3.
I think It is better to sort the serial number out 0 and O often get confused.
Check with support I think you can go straight to 4.61 without doing the in between.

If you have a fast connection download the latest iso. But you should use the 4.5 serial

I have E4.54 running on Vista. My Ev4 was an upgrade from Ev3 so I installed Ev4 using the utility provided in Vista control panel to install XP compatible programmes. You need to have both your E3 and E4 serial #s available for this. I then updated by downloading 4.54 and installing that from my DL folder. This worked OK. My attempt to go to 4.61 failed so I am staying with 4.54 for the time being. So far this has worked for me on Vista.

Thanks for the info, I called Canopus support and because of the serial problem they suggested downloading the full version from the E4 site, I am at the moment doing this, then burn the .iso to disc and install. He said it shoulkd work o.k

E4.61 is running on my HP laptop under Vista Home Edition. I've been able to edit HDV and EX1 footage.

Good luck,

Geoff

Thanks Geoff, I am pleased you have it o.k looking forward to my one working.

A word of caution - if you're an 'upgrader' you may have some difficulty in installing TitleMotion Pro for EDIUS - it seems that in some cases, TMP won't 'see' EDIUS if you've jumped straight up to 4.6x, since you need to upgrade your TMP from v3.x.

I haven't verified this myself (I have to pull out a post-NAB system to test). Just fyi..

I had a problem when going from 3.x to 4.x, when it would ask for the older disk, I had to put it in another optical drive as install wouldn't recognize it when I swapped the disks out in the same drive.

[harveylexton]

I have downloaded the full version of e4.61 from support site and it won't even get passed the install sign on screen, any ideas please?

[GrassValley_KH]

You mean the 4.6 ISO image, right?

The 4.61 updater is just that - an updater. It'll require that you have installed a previous version of EDIUS v4.x first..

[harveylexton]

Yes the iso file 2Gigs of it, if I put the e3 upgrade on it insists on the s/n.

I go back to the original E 2 all the later ones are upgrades, can't get past the install on the start screen.

Should I download the 30 day trial 4.6, I was told by GV techs all I needed was the iso file.

I do have the dongle for e4 infact 2 of them. It won't even look at the E4 origianal discs

[johannesj]

extract the ISO to DVD disc

[harveylexton]

Iv'e tried that also and it won't have it
