Quintic is pleased to announce that all three levels of its video analysis software are fully supported by Microsoft Vista operating systems. Quintic V14 Sports / Coaching & Biomechanics are freely available for download via the Software Trial page of our website.
Quintic Software programs remains fully supported on Microsoft Windows XP and Quintic would still strongly recommend Microsoft XP as its preferred platform.
If you are an existing client wishing to switch from an XP PC to a Vista PC, you will need first to uninstall your current Quintic Licence via the Software Help Menu (see FAQ 36 for more on Licence Uninstallation). Download the new Quintic / Vista supported program go to www.quintic.com/software/trial/index.pl
Microsoft Vista uses a different video codec to that previously standard in Windows XP Operating Systems and Quintic Software – the default codec for Vista is XviD MPEG4 which is automatically incorporated in standard installation of the Quintic / Vista programs. Due to this different codec, your own existing Quintic videos, Quintic Sample Videos, and Quintic 4 Education videos will not open unless you first obtain backwards compatibility. To obtain this compatibility you must download the previous MPEG4 Codec to your Vista computer by selecting the following link and following the seven step-by-step instructions. www.quintic.com/downloads/system_tools.htm
Once you have downloaded the old MPEG4 and followed these steps, you will then be able to use previously saved Quintic video files in Quintic on your Vista computer. There is also the option to select the previous MPEG4 video Codec as the default codec when in the Quintic Editor stage of your Quintic Program. However, you may wish to choose the new XviD codec as your default video codec. The increased quality of the new XviD Codec outweighs the small increase in file size.
