I was going to just use VP10 on this box just for bits and pieces, and do my main work in VP8.0c, but VP8.0c won't give me full framerate HDV playback at best/full once there is Color Corrector on an event, whereas VP10 will let me put Color Corrector + Color Corrector (secondary) on an event and still give full framerate playback.
I have no problem moving to Windows 7 if I really need to, and will install that on my next new PC, but for the time being I know and like XP 圆4. Maybe there's a gotcha somewhere, but as yet I haven't found it. Sure, there was no SP3 for XP 圆4, but it's still supported in terms of Windows updates such as security updates and service packs for. I don't know why SCS didn't support XP 圆4 with VP10. It's possible the windows repair install had removed the Windows Media codecs or something, but I later reinstalled WMP11, so maybe that was the problem. But at some point as I installed and updated everything else on this box it sprang into life and now starts up normally. I didn't trust PCMover not to have messed things up a little so I then did a repair install of XP 圆4 to reset Windows things but leave VP10 in place.Īt first VP10 would run but there would be a very long delay during "Initializing video services" on the startup screen.
Then I did a clean install of XP 圆4 SP2 on the same box, installed the 4 prerequisites that VP10 had installed during the regular install (.NET Framework 3, Windows Installer 4.5, Windows Feature Pack For Storage, and Windows Media Format 11 runtime), and then installed the PCMover moving van containing VP10. Then made a "no-snapshot moving van" with PCMover Pro, containing just VP10. So I used PCMover Pro.įirst I did a vanilla installation of my old copy of XP 32-bit and upgraded to SP3 and installed VP10e. The above registry hack did not work, and I tried a few other registry hacks to make my installation look temporarily like XP 32-bit SP3, but they all failed. Unsupported by SCS but no crashes yet, and preview performance of my HDV is better than 8.0c on the same box with similar settings. This is now probably irrelevant to all but dinosaurs and the slightly insane, but for what it's worth, I now have Vegas Pro 10.0e 32-bit running smoothly (so far) under Windows XP Pro 圆4 Edition SP2 on my Q6600 box.
