    I created “hdv-intermediate” (I think)it’s rendering now, so I can’t check. These AVI files play fine on Vegas 8 timeline, but only the audio plays in Windows Media player on same computer.

    That’s because the intermediary format uses the CineForm codec and the only application that is licensed to use the CineForm codec on your computer is Vegas. All other applications will not see the video. You must buy the Cineform codec if you want to use it in other applications.

    If you just want to have playback from other applications you can download the trial of Neo HDV from CineForm. While the encoder will expire after the 15 day trial is up, the decoder never expires as long as the trial remains installed. This will give you playback in Windows Media Player.
