Guys..........PLEASE!!! You HAVE to let us know if you're reporting on x86 or x64..................... Otherwise I just trash the thread and wait for more entries.

We appreciate everyone's efforts here and have tried very hard to keep this up to date. Please realize that now that Build 5728 has been released to testers, this thread may get updated less often, but we have NOT forgotten about it. ^*^

Nikon View 6.2.7. Tried on x86 RC1 Build 5600. Nikone View Browser worked, but the Viewer itself did not. I only tried on JPG's. This is not the most recent version which I believe is also called 6.2.7.

Well to be completely honest DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink don't run as well on 64 bit Vista RC1 build 5600 as they do on 32 bit XP Pro. It takes longer to decrypt and encode and then to burn the ISO to a DVD, but they do run

You can use magiciso to burn iso file to cd on windows vista x86 and x64. It is also a good iso creator.
