A few basic questions…
Sorry to bother you, but I have a few basic questions about SV that I can’t seem to decipher from the Sony website. These are:
1. Does the boxed Platinum Pro v 9 come with a manual or is all help etc on line/disk?
2. I am used to recording to mpeg 2 DV tape. I’ve just bought an HF100 (AVHCD). I don’t have a HD tv or HD burner, so if I film and transfer in HD can I then keep the film in HD and put it on a normal DVD and watch it in a standard DVD player (minus the HD quality) or do I need to change the format somewhere along the line? If so, can this be done within SV Platinum Pro 9?
3. I usually create menus and chapters etc – am I correct in assuming this is done in the bundled DVD creator programme?Sorry for this, but I need quick advice as i want to order. In the UK it takes a month to buy this software as no one stocks it! We have to order from the US!
Many thanks (from a very much ex Nero user – I know…).

I use Vegas Pro, but I believe I can answer your questions.
1. The manual is in PDF format, and the program has the standard F1 online help.
2. Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Edition will accept AVCHD. To produce a DVD, though, you will have to let it convert your movie to standard MPEG2. It will be a lower resolution (standard DVD video is 720×480, whereas your HD video is larger). In addition, the act of decoding, resizing, and re-encoding the video might introduce some artifacting.
3. Vegas Movie Studio comes with DVD Architect Studio, a program for authoring DVDs.
