Edius & 64 bit

[JTE48]

I looked at some previous posts from about a year ago that said Edius would not run on WinXP 64 bit. I was looking at the HP Laptop 8710w that is a 2.5 GHz Vista/64 bit with a WinXP Pro downgrade disk. I'm wondering if Edius will run on it now.

Finding a laptop that doesn't have Vista is pretty hard these days. Sony offers an WinXP rollback on certain models too. I guess folks don't like Vista.

Edius 5, which, according to Kenneally, is slated to be released later this year, will run Vista 64 bit. Some have reported it running now OHCI minus a few of the Edius features.

I am running Edius 4.61 on Vista 64 and it runs great. I do not have NX so it is just software. Miss the output from my DVRaptor RT2 on the old system but with a quad core Q9450 and 8G RAM it is fast. I have turned off most Vista features so it looks more like XP in fact, Classic colours and windows just runs faster.

Big manufacturers like Dell are dropping XP within a few months so the move to Vista only systems is inevitable. It's been out for more than a year already..

Anyone running PP2 also with Edius on Vista 64?

Correction - next Monday (not within a few months) ... M$ will stop selling WinXP to the big boys.

But Microsoft gives the oem kind of an extention.
As long as the customer buys a Vista license they can still of the xp downgrade.
It is just about selling that Vista license. :(

I am running Edius 4.61, Vegas 8 & Architect, CS3 & Encore, Sound Forge 9, DVDLab PRo2, TMPGenc Express 4, Photo Brush, Nero 8 on Vista 64 and they all seem to run faster!! To me Vista is fine if you turn off all the fancy effects and you do not need drivers for additional cards. I have Gigabyte X48-DQ6 which has more than enough interfaces!! I got a Palit HD3850 video card with HDMI connector and intend getting another monitor with PC and HDMI connectors some time.
