Installing Vegas 7+DVD on a VT[4] Host System
Hi all. I’m posting this in both the NewTek VT forum and this one as well, so as to garner a greater number of responses.
I had been enjoying Trial version of Sony Vegas for quite awhile — while having owned SoundForgeXP since having purchased a VAIO desktop some years back.
I’ve just bit the bullet, having purchased a suite of Sony tools — believing that aside from Vegas’ relatively crude CG and utterly slow rendering, it is most definitely the PC platform’s answer to Apple’s Final Cut Pro (which also has its rendering issues — most particularly with realtime preview, last version I edited on).
(Allow me to parenthetically state that one of the coolest features in Vegas for me has to do with what I’ll refer to as “time-stretch” or “time shrink” on a particular A/V or audio clip.)
Vegas’ native ability to allow the user to quickly adjust the speed of audio/video or audio “events”, while also allowing one to maintain the original “pitch” of that clip’s audio — (excellent for voiceover work, when you need to change the speed to fit a particular length of time in your project, no?) utterly amazes.
That’s presently the biggest selling point for me, not to mention the clean output quality, thanks to the included MainConcept codec that’s included in the package.
That said, what can I do to install Sony Vegas7+DVD onto a PC where NewTek’s VT[4] resides — so I won’t run into the problem of having snafus caused by redundant .dlls or other media-related files in my system32 folder or what-have-you?
Thanks in advance — and thanks to the Cow, without which I would not have seen the deal on Vegas7+DVD/SoundForge8/Sony SoundFX Library Vol. 1-5 at VideoGuys.com!

Vegas is very friendly to other apps. I don’t think Vegas will do anything to harm Newtek. However, if you want to be totally safe, make an image of the drive before installing Vegas. Then you can always revert back to that image.
