PierreLucB Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi guys, I'm wondering if Watchout 6 is a 32 bit or 64 bit program. I need to spec new computers for use with version 6 and I'm wondering how much RAM to put it. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted September 3, 2015 Moderator Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 WATCHOUT 6 is still 32 bit. If it were changed to 64 bit, then it would have to drop support for Apple Quicktime, which remains 32 bit. Still no harm installing the 64 bit OS, does help with some capture cards, does not matter much to WATCHOUT. But WATCHOUT 6 for now remains within the 32 bit memory space. I have lobbied dropping QT support and moving to 64 bit. In v6 - ProRes, h.264, and animation codec .mov files are already supported without Apple's quicktime support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Fahl Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 To answer your other question about RAM. I'd say put 8 GB in a 64 bit machine if you intend to use it mainly as a WATCHOUT player. This gives WATCHOUT 4 GB with 4GB left for the OS and other duties. More wouldn't really be of any significant advantage, except possibly for use as a large RAM disk. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
