No problem.
However I still recommend Avid DNxHD codec as it offers slightly better compression quality than ProRes.

According to these guys, it's the other way around:

That test was not done properly in my opinion (also pointed out by David Newman in the comments).

When going from uncompressed source, this test shows that DNxHD has an edge.
Anyone?

Premiere version 7.1.0.141 and up handles most codec in native 64bit environment, including ProRes.
I believe this is incorrect. I've just uninstalled Quicktime from my Windows 7 64-bit machine, and I'm now unable to import ProRes files into Premiere (see screen grab).
As Quicktime on Windows is a 32-bit application, it would seem to logically follow that importing ProRes files forces Premiere Pro to revert to a 32-bit application (limited to 4GB of ram, limited to one Processor core, etc).
Can you comment, marvinhello?

64bit ProRes is listed, for 64bit export it's Mac only.
Cool, thanks! ProRes files in Premiere 7.2.2 DO seem to be working well. Very fast to skip around a timeline and windows task manger shows Premiere is using more than 4GB of RAM. But I'm still confused why I need to have the 32-bit Quicktime player installed. And If I kill the "Adobe QT32 Server.exe *32" process, it does render Premiere projects using ProRes files unusable.
