Microsoft went to great lengths to engineer a high level of backward
compatibility into Windows 7, and the transition from Windows Vista
to Windows 7 is likely to be less
troublesome and complex than the transition from Windows XP to Windows Vista.
Since it appears that Windows 7 will be installed on new
computers in primarily 64 Bit versions, it is now VERY IMPORTANT
to verify that a software application runs properly on 64
Bit Windows. This is not a trivial consideration
- don't assume here ! In some cases, a separate or different
64 Bit version of a software application may be required,
particularly for Video Editing applications.
The information below is designed to assist current and prospective
users of CompuSports software applications in determining the effect a a
transition to Windows 7 will have on the use of the current version of
each application.

Additional Software Application Notes
Easy-Scout Professional
Windows DVD Maker is now included in most versions of
Windows 7, however Windows no longer ships with Windows
Movie Maker, though it does make its replacement, Windows
Live Movie Maker, available free by download.
Unfortunately, Windows Live Movie Maker supports only "firewire"
cameras and capture devices, and when even when this
equipment is available, creates video files that are not
currently compatible with Easy-Scout Professional. For
this reason, Windows Live Movie maker can not be used to
capture video for use with Easy-Scout Professional.
Instead, it will be necessary to capture video using the
Digital Media software suite that is included with most
computers. Full details are in our Online Help Resources
along with specific product recommendations.
Easy-Cut
Easy-Cut runs better and faster on Windows 7 than it does on
either Windows XP or Windows Vista. In addition, a 64 Bit
Version is now provided. Easy-Cut uses a different
underlying video technology than Easy-Scout Pro, and can be
used with video produced from just about any source, as long
as it is in one of the supported formats.
