Lightworks

What works

install works fine.

gui showing up short, it tries to initiate itself, but then crashes

when starting with ntcardvt.exe:

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0xf650719c (thread 0050), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0xf650719c).

q: I am on amd64...so maybe this is platform specific?

starting with  ./Lightworks.exe also does a:

What does not

running it, sadly

Workarounds

What was not tested

running it on real hardware. it states to have these hardware requirements:

• 2 GB of RAM;
• Display with 1024 x 768 resolution or higher;
• PCI Express graphics card; EditShare recommends NVIDIA or ATI.
• IEEE 1394 interface (FireWire) of 800 Mb per second if you plan to use a FireWire digital device (deck or camera).
• 256-MB graphics subsystem with support for DirectX 9.

I have just tried to run it in a virtual machine (virtualbox, with maverick_amd64 and pure vesa)

Hardware tested

• GPU:
• Driver:

Additional Comments

there are many people waiting eagerly to get this application up and running in linux

To get it run under linux, you need to install matrox video for windows codecs (e.g. from http://tinyurl.com/2w7arjz, install just works manually. start VFWCodecs_1.0.exe, go to /.wine/drive_c/users//Temp. copy WZSE0.TMP somewhere else, extract dlls in system32.cab and vfw32.cab to /.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Matrox VFW Software Codecs/System32 and VFW32)

install winetricks :  and run

env WINEPREFIX="/.wine" winetricks gdiplus d3dx9_36 vcrun2008 vcrun6 msxml3

download lightworks, then

 env WINEPREFIX="/.wine"  wine /lightworks_10.0_public_beta.exe

 to run it, go to the path where you installed it:

cd  /.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Lightworks

 env WINEPREFIX="/.wine"  wine ./Lightworks.exe or ./ntcardvt.exe , as the forum describes a bug of starting it via L... the first time.
