Most compatible with windows?

Hello,
After much trawling of the web, this discussion forum & compressor manual, still haven't found what I'm looking for so hopefully this will also be of help to others...
I edit material in Final Cut Pro and export material via compressor. This latest batch of videos need to play comfortably on Windows machines (usually no earlier than XP)
What have people generally found to be the best CODECs to use?
In the 'old' days I'd use Sorenson but I'm sure there's better out there now... I've tried mp4, AVI (using cinepak and DV-PAL compressors - the latter being HUGE in size!) and exporting the movie natively & recompressing in Quicktime using ...720p but neither have worked... I thought many people used mpeg4 these days but no joy on the two machines I tested on so far...
So - what do you use that plays well on Windows machines; gives a good image reproduction without ridiculously huge file sizes?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
Jay.

Thanks for that.
Ok; thought I'd check. I have got Flip4Mac Studio but as you'll know, it's limited so before I paid more $$$ thought I'd seek advice.
Meanwhile, I'll try the H.264 with AAC and include a link to download Quicktime.
Cheers.

Illustrator 10 compatible with Windows Vista?

I'm looking to purchase Illustrator 10 (can't afford the $600 for CS3). Is it compatible with windows vista? I've been all over the Adobe website, but there is no information pertaining to any upgrades or FAQs on the subject.

You'll be trying to run an old version of Illustrator (now at v.13) on an operating system with which it was never tested, so all bets are off.
However, users have reported success with Illustrator versions going back as far as 8. After installation, you will most likely need to do the following:
Right-click on the Illustrator EXE file, choose properites, click the compatibility tab, and then select...
* Disable Visual Themes
* Disable Desktop Composition
* Disable display scaling on high DPI machines
It's going to be difficult to purchase a legal copy of such an old version.
Caveat emptor.
Also make sure you update to 10.0.3.

Is Dreamweaver compatible with Windows Vista?

No matter what I do I can't insert text into Dreamweaver. I'm
beginning to think Dreamweaver is not compatible with Windows
Vista. I can type text into it but I can't write a document in
another program then insert it into a DW page. It just won't do
anything at all. I've watched about 4 videos on this and read many
things on Dreamweaver help and can't find it. I think it might be
easier to learn html than Dreamweaver. I can't find any good
Dreamweaver tutorials, even in Lynda.com. They all teach as if you
already know most of the program.

Where are you copying the text FROM? Which app?

Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1?

Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1? I got a new computer 2 months ago and have been loading in my photos and pngs slowly and tagging all of them. If I understand correctly, even though I am saving the tagging to the metadata, Elements warns me that it will not save to pngs, which is what most of mine are. As I have added about half now (about 100 hours of tagging) my computer is freezing up and will no longer open my Elements. My computer completely froze and needed tech support for several hours to get anything to work again. The tech support couldn't find any malware to explain this problem and have concluded that the Elements is not compatible with my operating system. I have not been really pleased with this computer from the start and am not totally convinced that Elements is the cause of the initial lock up of my computer. I am willing to purchase a newer version of Elements if that is the problem, but am worried I will get a newer Elements, go through the loading and tagging process and have the same thing happen again, especially if I have to retag everything I just did. I cannot find anywhere that specifically states whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1 (only windows 8). Before I go to a lot of trouble, does anyone know for sure whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1? Thanks,Donna

PSE11 will run as a 32-bit application in W8.1-64, PRE11 will run as a 64-bit application.

Standard and Pro versions compatible with Windows 7

Hello
I am looking for a list of Adobe Acrobat Standard and Adobe Acrobat Pro that are compatible with Windows 7. We are upgrading over 1000 computers to Windows 7 and we have many different versions of Adobe Acrobat writer Stndard and Pro.
Thanks

There are also issues with 32 vs 64-bit systems. The latter requires updating your version in general. Generally the initial releases have not worked in the 54-bit environment. There are many driver issues with 64-bit systems and probably should look carefully if 64-bits are needed. The 64-bit system is useful if you are computationally focused, but may not be much of an advantage in standard office environments. Just be careful. If you are installing OFFICE 2010, then you need AAX for PDF Maker compatibility -- prior versions of Acrobat only allow printing from the OFFICE 2010 suite. Some folks have been successful with AA8 on 32-bit Win7 (I have only seen 1 post that would suggest success with 64-bit Win7). Prior versions of Acrobat can be made to work on 32-bit Win7 systems, but require work arounds (i.e., the AcroTray tool that automates the conversion to PDF process fails in Win7). The 64-bit system will probably fail for most of the earlier versions in such cases.
Realize that you may have to deal with Win8 shortly that has it's own issues.

Is Elements 8 NOT compatible with Windows 7???

I have been working with this program all day, with a book at my side making my first album to share. I re-edited one photo and it locked into a "editing in process" and it went down hill from there. Now most things just don't work. I can't switch back and forth to Organize, edit, albums etc. It freezes. I've lost count on number of times I've rebooted. Now it won't even open. I loaded the program early Aug and have just been playing with it; it worked fine on pratice projects. I'm beginning to think this 8 is not compatible with Windows 7. My book says it will upload fixes. Should I just reload again? Geez!!!
Probably just answered my own question.............reload!!!!!

I have just bought a new computer - Win7 - very fast - lots of memory, and PSE8 is a real dog compared to my experience with PSE5 on my old computer with XP. Here are some examples:
clicking the arrow to open tab groups has a big delay - about 4 sec (immediate on PSE5)
<F11> full screen takes 5-10 sec at least (immediate on PSE5)
even applying a star rating in full screen takes 3-5 sec of delay before I can go to the next frame
I have turned off all auto-analyzing options but no real impact to above.
Anyone experiencing the same? This is very frustrating when earlier version is responsive and newer version is not.

Is ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE 4 DESIGN PREMIUM WIN UE compatible with Windows 8 and 8.1?

Is ADOBE® CREATIVE SUITE® 4 DESIGN PREMIUM WIN UE compatible with Windows 8 and 8.1?

Yes/No/perhaps/maybe? You won't know until you try. Windows programs are generally backward compatible, but of course there most definitely will be specific problems like needing to manually adjust user permissions or getting things like printing functions to work.

Is Firefox 15 compatible with Windows 7- my computer god says"Firefox won't work in Windows 7" so no windows 7 unless I'm willing to switch to IE?

Looking for information I can (possibly) understand and she (person selling me my next computer with Windows 7), might be willing to look into & re-think. I prefer (most of the time) FF to IE. Although I'm willing, if necessary, to switch from Eudora (my choice) to Outlook (she says both are not compatible with Windows 7), I'm less willing to do so with FF. (Although, more & more with so increasingly many FF 'upgrades', I have become less enamored with FF.)
Thanks for any help, info and, please, if you do respond, pretend that for a used to be smart person, I'm ... a computer illiterate, moron, OK, OK, not that bright! Thanks Phyllis

Hi Phyllis! Just to set things clear, Firefox IS compatible with Windows 7.
Firefox supports Windows 7
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/15.0/system-requirements/
I don't use Eudora so I can't say anything about it. But just by searching around, the reason why Eudora has difficulty running in Windows 7 is that it saves files to a location that is protected in Windows 7. That means no programs may automatically save files there. There are probably some workarounds but I don't know enough about them to comment about here.
The main point is that the Firefox browser runs perfectly fine in Windows 7. I'm typing this on Firefox 15.0.1 in Windows 7 64-bit right now too.
Hope this helps!

Adobe Reader v8.1.2 Compatible with Windows XP Pro SP3

I need to know if Adobe Reader v8.1.2 is compatible with Windows XP Pro SP3.
Thank you.

I've been using Reader without any problems until yesterday when administrator installed Windows XP SP3. When I do a <Ctrl-P> to print, it takes about 30 to 90 seconds for the print requester to pop up. The program is locked up and not responding during the delay, although it does NOT say "Not Responding" in the title bar. While the delay is going, the SysInternals Process Explorer shows but fleeting milliseconds of Kernel or User time being used. Setting the priority from 8 to 13 made no improvement at all. I frequently print from the Reader and the delay drives me nuts! This hang-up needs to be corrected ASAP. I am sure it is a Reader incompatibility because it never happened before the SP3 update, the program is hung and doing nothing and everything works perfectly before and after the <Ctrl-P> is entered. Word or Excel do not experience similar problems. I just tried Notepad, and it sometimes hangs the same way but not nearly as long - maybe 10 seconds at the most and only the first time. After the first delay it pops right up. Adobe Reader hangs a long time every time. Any idea if Adobe is going to fix it or even knows the problem exists? Do they moderate or monitor complaints like this here or elsewhere? I don't want to think they know about it and are fixing it if they aren't.

"Compatible with windows applications"

Yesterday I got an email AppleStore eNews which said
You already have a perfectly healthy PC, not to mention lots of important Microsoft Office files. But you also know all about Apple's innovative design and ease-of-use features. And perhaps you've heard of all the incredible things you can do with photos, movies and music by using Apple's iLife '05 creativity suite. So what do you do? Check out the compact, affordable Mac mini. It's compatible with Windows applications and even works with your existing monitor, USB keyboard and mouse. Best of all, it comes preinstalled with iLife '05 and Mac OS X v10.4 'Tiger', the world's most advanced operating system.
What do they mean by
It's compatible with Windows applications
If anyone can cast some light on this I'd be grateful.
Stuart

John,
I have 1GB of RAM on my Mac MIni 1.4Ghz. I don't have any problems whatsoever running VPC with Windows XP Pro.
As for needing 2GB of RAM, your salesman is misleading you. In VPC you cannot allocate any more than 512MB of RAM for running Windows.
I've used this version of VPC on my brother's Mac G5 Dual 2.0Ghz with 1GB RAM. On both his G5 and my Mac Mini you cannot allocate more than 512MB RAM to VPC.
Also, on both machines, VPC runs as a 686 processor running at 663Mhz. I had previously believed that the speed at which VPC ran was determined by the processor and allocated memory of the host Macintosh. This is completely false. Even so, compared to the legacy AMD Athlon-powered Windows laptop that I had previously been using, VPC on the Mac Mini offers surprisingly similar performance.
Moreover, in my experience of using VPC on both my brother's G5 and my Mac Mini, somehow, my perception is that VPC is more 'fluid' in operation on my Mac Mini. Therefore, I don't think you will have any issues in running VPC on your intended PowerBook purchase.
One last point, Virtual PC is much better in its performance than when I ran SoftWindows on my previous Macintosh 8200.
