Hi there

Has anyone else tried PowerDirectory 8 on a Vista x64 PC? Downloaded the latest trial from Cyberlink yesterday and installed it on my laptop, which is running Vista x64 SP2 with 8GB of memory.

My camera (SonyHDR-HC9e) records in 1440x1080i MPEG2, and when I edit that in PowerDirector, it crashes hard every 2-3 minutes.

Has anyone else experienced the same with Vista x64 and PowerDirector 8?

I run Vista x64 Ultimate without a problem.
I suspect your laptop hardware is not up to the task. Try not to get too impatient with PD8 eg wait a little while before adding a new effect etc., as sometime this can cause instability. Also unload other programs that may be taking CPU/RAM as video editing is very resource intensive.

I have pd8 build 2508 and Vista64 ultimate. I also have an i7 920 quad core with two ATI 4870 in crossfire and 12 GB of ram. no issues with crashing every few minutes or any regular event like that.

Klaus,

Visit this link, Download BD Advisor and test your PC for enough "juice": http://www.cyberlink.com/stat/bd-support/enu/index.jsp

One of the solutions that worked for my vista 64 platform was reduced history steps from default 50 to 1-2. This can be changes in the properties.
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
