I bought a new HP laptop with Intel Core2 Extreme processors, 64 bit Vista Ultimate, SATA drives, etc. The problem is: this system was design for Windows Vista Only, with no Windows XP drivers. That's why I would like to know if anybody knows if will be a Vista version of DVDit ProHD? If yes, when Sonic is planning to release it?

I can't speak for Sonic but this question has been asked lots since Vista's release.  I doubt you'll get any definitive answer but it's likely that sooner or later they'll be a Vista version but whether it will be for v6 or a newer version I don't know.  Might be awhile though as there's already talk of SP1 due out early in 2008.  Maybe that's what their waiting for.

Hi Paul,

Thanks fou your reply. Yes, I am sure the Vista version will be release as all new machines comes with it installed.
I was fan of XP Pro, but I have to say that Windows Vista running in this new Intel Processor Core2 Extreme 2.8 GHZ is fantastic! I know I have to be patient, but I am ansious to run DVDit ProHD (Vista version) in this machine... I hope Roxio/Sonic can give us some feedback!

I have the same issue.  I am considering running a dual-boot with XP to get around this.  But, I also read in a Videoguys article that they were able to run DVDit Pro HD on the Vista Business version with no problems.  That led me to another problem - - I can upgrade from my Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, but not to Vista Business (at least there is not an obivous path).

I would think that if it would work on Business, it would work on Ultimate but I've not had much luck.  While I did have no errors installing, much of the program did not work for me so instead of playing around with it and seeing posts here stating it was not 100% Vista ready, I've removed it and patiently wait for the updated release or news of the update.
I personally feel they've had enough time to get an update out but I'm sure they have reasons for waiting.

Update on work-around for burning Blue-ray disk from DVDit Pro HD using Windows Vista.  My version of Vista happens to be the Home Premium, so I did not need to upgrade to the Business version afterall.  After attempting to burn to a Blue-ray RW disk, which failed, I created an image file.  Then, I opened that file and burned to the disk and it was successful.  You might want to try it.

I may just do that.  I don't have a Blue Ray drive but if you got that far, maybe I can too. Thanks for the info.
