• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hi
I have just bought Adobe Premiere elements 10 for my Imac but I notice that it is only 64 bit on windows. Should I carry on using OSX or switch to Windows 7 that I have on a bootcamp partition.
Thanks for any advice.

With windows as its 64bit i can use all the 12gb of ram that I have installed.
I think this will make a big difference.

Premiere elements for mac is 32Bit but the windows version is 64Bit. I know its a bit different with mac but I thought 32bit software could only use 4GB of ram, so If I use the windows version I will get the full 12Gb that I have on my Imac.
Thanks

Thank you!

The point I meant to address less obliquely is that 32-bit programs on Macs can still "see" all the RAM you can put in them. Premiere Elements will be able to address all 12GB. I'm not sure where you got the idea that 32-bit programs can only address 4GB of RAM, but it's not true with Macs.
