Good practice is to have your captured video & render files on a drive other than the OS. Most users will have the program on the C drive and use another (big) drive or raid for the video/render.

This thread has been very useful to me, by following the procedures that are now pinned I have got AL7.2 running OK on my PC - thanks guys, I do appreciate this. As a result I have created a project, captured all the data, created simple transitions and titles and ended up with a very satisfactory set of DVD's, all from my Vista 64 boot. I have had

New WHQL driver from asus - raid now works too

bigrock: During the installation there was a launch of IE for both Movie looks, and TDK if I remember correctly and both lauched IE Ok and did not lock up the installation at all.

Yes, I read that one as well, but months ago I ran a test on another PC where I loaded V32. That PC wasn't cutting edge, in fact it was back of the knife stuff. AL7.1 ran with no problems that I came across on that installation. This is why I was encouraged to try V64 on the current editing PC. The old one is still tucked away but it's not used for

Same here, I ran the installation from a hard drive, MovieLooks I tried to install from the bundle CD. It seemed to work OK except the PC locked after the install. Didn't bother with any more installing, just tried to open the BMW project. Maybe I'll clean up the the projects and try again after work, AL should run OK without the bundle but if it doesn

Sorry for the link being copied out in full on my earlier reply. I can see the button for creating a link and at one time I read (somewhere) about how to insert it. I will read up again if I get time today, but I don't usually feel competent to make many replies to other peoples problems - lots of capable users here without my pennies worth! But like
