Whats the latest version of Movie Edit Pro 32 bit

CubeAce wrote on 12/12/2020, 3:05 AM

Hi saggott.

The latest version is 2021 and there are no 32 bit versions of the product. Even if there was, they would no longer work with the larger files we see today due to memory problems.

Just to add to what Ray says, only the latest version is ever available to buy from Magix. Sometimes, older versions are still available from sites like Amazon but MEP has been exclusively 64 bit for several versions so I doubt very much whether you could now find a new copy still for sale.

Thanks guys, did a bit of back ground research after posting my questions, MEP 2015 is 32 bit, so have managed to track down a copy for £10!

Yes, a version of 2015 was 32bit but it was also sold as a 64bit version so make sure the one you are buying is a 32 bit version. 2015 32bit was just 2014 according to one account I read.

Scenestealer, thanks for the heads up. I now have a 32-bit version, but I'm unable to import MP4 (H.264, 720p), any ideas why? Error reads 'The file format of ***.mp4 cannot be read! Please make sure that the drive is not full or write-protected' Which is isn't. Tried it with 1080p, but same issue. I've purchased the MPeg4 codec, but still doesn't help.

What version of Windows are you running? What is the size of the file you are trying to import?

CubeAce, Windows 10 (32 bit) MP4 files are about 2.5 - 3 Gb. Sorry for the delay in replying.

Hi.

The only thing I can think of is if you have downloaded any additional video codec packs for Windows.

They can stop the Movie Edit Pro ones from working. If you have you may need to uninstall them.

It may also be worth downloading MediaInfo (free version) and looking and posting the video file's information from the text view in MediaInfo to see if there are problems with the file's encoding.

Also which encoder did you purchase? MEP 2015 should already be able to import MPEG-4 files. I don't know if it can support HEVC or not which would be H265 not H264. It's one reason I would like to look at that file's data.

Ray,

Thanks for your reply, once again I apologise for my very slow reply. Live been a bit s**t, suffice to say my wife has been in hospital, so my focus have been elsewhere for a while now.

The data you suggested I send you is below, I've not used MediaInfo before, so hope I've got the right data.

Thanks again, Steve

Hi Steve.

No problem. We all have our priorities.

The info data on the file is just what is needed.

Basically I think the file is too large. A Windows 32 bit operating system won't normally handle files of over 2GBs in size.

How did you manage to create the file?

Are you running a 32 bit version of Win 10 due to a lack of ram?

When you create a project in Movie Edit Pro a lot of the project is directly loaded straight to ram so I'm guessing this is the problem.

If I'm wrong I'm sure John EB will come in with a more technical understanding of the problem.

Ray.

Thx Ray,

I run 32bit as it's an older PC (HP xw 6200), really great PC, just long in the tooth!

File was created using an HDML Cloner Box, brill for capturing signals from an HDMI source.

I did wonder if file size was an issue, seen similar things with FAT and NTFS.

Oh, well will keep converting to mpeg2 and using them, it's not ideal, but it works.

Thanks for all your input, much appreciated, stay well!

Hi

. . . . Windows 10 (32 bit) MP4 files are about 2.5 - 3 Gb . . . . .

As @CubeAce has commented files over 2GB cannot be handled correctly on a 32 bit OS.

Is there a reason why you are running Windows 10 32 bit eg was this an upgrade from XP? This version is no longer supported by Microsoft, Windows 10 1909 (Sept 2019) was the last of the 32 bit versions.

What is you computer specification? - see this topic for details of what is required.

Added: I see you have posted the computer make/model - which Xeon processor model does this have?

John,

Thanks, but it sounds as though apart from upgrading my PC there's not much more that can be done (yea, it was an upgrade from XP).

I'm happy running with it as it is for now, as found a work around.

All the best,

Steve
