I see that this thread started at the end of 2005 and here we are in the middle of 2007 (1.5+ years) and Apple still leaves us crying for 64-bit Windows QuickTime support. I realize that this is an SoftImage XSI blog, but the same issue exists for Maxon Cinema 4D which also utilizes QuickTime for certain audio/image/video support.

When will Apple provide a 64-bit DLL, API, and codecs? There are now not only the single Windows XP Pro x64 out there (what I use) but also several flavors of Windows Vista 64-bit. In the coming months, mainly due to pre-installs of Vista, the number of 64-bit Windows OSs is going to skyrocket. While Jobs moans and groans over iPhone, iPod, and iTunes, will he even notice that he is losing Windows base due to some form of obstinance?

Anyone recommend an alternative API lib for PNG and PICT image support that’ll work in Windows 64-bit using C++?

Sad, sad, sad

Unfortunately this is not a Softimage thing. It is an Apple thing, thus questions should be directed there. When Apple comes out with a 64bit windows version of Quicktime all will be well in XSI/QT land.

I hope this will be dealt with soon. Very soon. We are losing market share now boys…. It would be nice to use my 64 bit machines? The client prefers to send quicktimes.

Whats up Softimage?

Aldo, you”re probably better off fielding these concerns to the friendly folk at Softimage Support. The people here definitely won”t be as authoritative on licensing subjects as Softimage would.

Thanks.

Hello. I”m new to Softimage XSI and Windows too.

I would like to work with my new 64bit Workstation and the new Microsoft Windows Vista R1 (Beta).

I”ve got a problem with the driver for the iButton Dongle.

Is there any solution for this problem or must i buy the Microsoft Windows XP x64.

Thanks alot for your answers.

Regards, Aldo

Mike, the problem is Quicktime for 64-bit applications, not 32-bit applications like After Effects and Juicer 2.

There is no 64-bit version of Quicktime, and therefore 64-bit application like XSI cannot support Quicktime.

What you”re using is the ”normal” 32-bit version quicktime under 64-bit windows” backward compatibility support for 32-bit application.

64-bit application vendors like us are waiting for Apple to give us a Win64 version of Quicktime.

Same thing for AVI. There is no version of these codecs for 64-bit application, this is all explained in the article.

The only codec that I have had an issue with under XP64 is HuffyUV. I was able to install Quicktime (32 bit) on the 64 bit OS by using the standalone installer. You cannot install the iTunes/QT combined installer.

I have used not only AE, but Juicer 2 (Digital Juice) to create 32bit QT files with embedded alpha without issue on XP64. Uncompressed AVI’’s with and without alpha work fine too. And there is no issue with Microsoft DV. I”ve done a little work using Cineform’’s 720p HDV too. No problems there either.

The key to QT under XP64 was finding the standalone installer. Someone posted it a link for me in one of the Adobe user forums and it worked fine.
