um.. Vegas 5 and 6 came out BEFORE vista to my knowledge.. So why would they be compatible?.. My guess is 8 is the only version compatible with vista.. but idk.

Well when XP came out it was backwards compatible and played software made for Windows 98, NT, ME, 2000, and 95. So I would assume they made Vista backwards compatible the same way they did for XP. And I have heard of some people using Vegas on Vista... I just don't know what version.

Vista?... Convenient in some way? stop bullshitting yourself.. It'll take about 5 years before it's convenient with software.. prolly, but hell. I really don't know.

If you don't know, why answer? :roll:

On topic, Vegas 7 runs fine on 64-bit Vista for me. Only the Media Manager refuses to work, but I always disable that anyway. After installing Vegas I also started getting an error message when running Dxdiag. Probably something to do with the Directx plugins. It doesn't seem to really affect anything though. Vegas 8 is supposed to be fully Vista-compatible.

I second what was just said, except on a 32bit system.

/end :x
Oh how convenient. A theory about God that doesn't require looking through a telescope.

speaking as an editor who has made 2 videos so far and working on 4 others on this new vista in vegas, vegas 7.0 is completely compatible.

You'll get a "the media manager is not the right access privelidgeS", but I haven't encoutered any proglems... just an annoying checkbox everytime I start it up.
