    Do you have DVD Architect installed? If not, install it. That should take care of the problem. Did you ever have the ability to encode to mpeg?

    Yes yes yes

    Totally retarded– That’s why I haven’t uninstalled Vegas 7e

    No reason except for the typical bugs any new program has.
    Why Sony Vegas programmers missed this is beyond me.

    Just stupid.

    And uninstalling DVD Architect to solve the problem is an absurd measure to correct it.

    Who said anything about uninstalling DVD Architect?
    Jeremy recommended installing it.
    Unfortunately Andreas hasn’t replied so we don’t know if that fixed it or not.

    Okay, I called Sony today– mpg and other selected features are DISABLED until you REGISTER your copy.

    It would be nice if this was mentioned somewhere where it was obvious, but alas, I and others have not seen it mentioned.

    Maybe somewhere, maybe not.

    Voila.

    It may be that people merely trying the Trial version, or using a hacked version will encounter the lack of features disabled will encounter such problems.
