Recording with Vista 64 Bit

[Coffee™]

I was wondering, what capture devices and programs work best with Vista 64?

Definitely Dazzle Platinum

Edit: Not

But in general recording with any version of vista can be tedious - I'd recommend windows xp.

I've tried it while using Pinnacle Studio 12. Didn't exactly work. I'm thinking something might actually be wrong with the Dazzle instead of it simply being the pc.

If all else fails, buy another capture card which works with vista 64 bit ^_^

Well, I used Pinnacle Studio 12 on my 64 bit Vista laptop and it worked just fine. Here's my sample vid:

Mind you would have to download the driver from the official site and I used Dazzler DVC 100. Just don't go for the gamebridge, it's time consuming to install and set it up to run on vista.

This is a really prejudiced and false statement. There is nothing about XP that makes it better for video editing, and nothing about Vista that makes it worse for video editing.

There are plenty of programs that work fine with Windows Vista and Vista x64. If you are just looking to do basic recording and editing then Windows Movie Maker would work fine, which is free and comes with both XP and Vista.

If you want something more advanced, you can use Adobe Premier, Adobe After Effects, Sony Vegas, etc. etc. etc.


If you are talking specifically about USB capture devices, almost all of the new Dazzle/Pinnacle devices support both Vista and Vista 64 bit.

Like this one, for example: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSi...azzle+DVD+Recorder+Hardware+Compatibility.htm

It's not that anyone is speaking ill of the Vista OS, it's just that Vista isn't compatible with some software. With some capture devices such as the adeptec gamebridge, one must make additional configurations to the properties of the capture device and most of the universal capturing systems are ran on the XP OS.

The Hauppauge HD PVR does work very well--no software hangs or anything of the sort.
