Need Presales Advice

I've worked with Vegas Movie Studio 6 in the past, but it's been a couple of years since I used it on my older Windows XP system. I still have the old system and the old software, but my new system runs Vista 64 bit. I'm a technical person, but strictly an amateur with video, and I have no desire to become more than that.

I just bought a Kodak Zi6 video camera, which makes nice videos in H.264 (MOV) format. It has three modes: HD 60 frames per second, HD 30 frames per second, and VGA. The videos play great on my computer when I download them. I can also play them directly on my 42" HDTV, using the Zi6.

I want to be able to edit my videos and burn them onto DVDs. I don't have an HD-DVD or BluRay burner, and I don't want or need one. I'd like to burn my HD videos onto a regular DVD, if that's possible.

Will version 6 handle any of what I need? Will Vegas 9 Platinum do what I need? Will it run on my Vista 64 bit system?

None of the Vegas Movie Studio versions are officially supported with Vista 64-bit at this time, but some people have had no problems using Vista 64-bit anyway, while others have had lots of problems.

At this time, only the current Vegas (full version) supports Vista 64-bit.

Also, I believe that HD was supported beginnning with V7.
