The Software industry is fully supporting Vista, yeah right, I don't think so !
What are they all waiting for, I don't think MS is going to scrap Vista at
this late stage of development, so how about the third party software folks
get cracking, it will be Xmas soon, and no compatable third party software,
not good. !
Popular handy free video editors and FX.
Virtual Dub 1.6.14 (no mpeg2 support)
Virtual Dub Mod 1.5.10.2 (mpeg2 support)
Avid Free DV 1.6.1
Virtual Edit Free 1.41
Zein Stein 4.0
Wax 2.0
Video Fun Box 1.10
Magix Movie Editor Silver Free 3.0.4.0 (last free version)
Most don't say on their websites if Vista Beta2 (32bit or 64bit) is
supported, but they should run ok on x86 (32bit) Vista Beta2 v5384.4
I am fedup asking software providers to update their products and websites,
they never do, very slack !
