I thought Adam answered your question. He said to just drag and drop the video files from the DVD onto the Vegas timeline and set their properties to Straight Alpha. Did that not work?

Have you looked on the DVD? What did you see? I don’t have this product but I’ve got to imagine they are just video files on the DVD.

I don’t have it yet. I didn’t know you could pull files off of a DVD

[John Rofrano]

The DVD is just the physical media that it comes on; i.e., it’s just a 4.7GB disc. It’s not a DVD that you play in your DVD player. It will probably just have a bunch of video files on it with alpha channels that you just drop onto your timeline. I would just copy the DVD onto your hard drive so that you always have them available when you need them.

Thanks a lot guys, you have helped me out more than you know

I just got Vegas Pro 8 and I was reading the End-User License Agreement and I was wonder if someone could elaborate on this: You may not use the Software for any purpose that: (a) infringes the copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, right of publicity or any other right of a third party, (b) is or may be libelous, defamatory or slanderous, or (c) any other us that is illegal in nature.

I kind of get what it’s saying, but could someone elaborate further please? Thanks.

First, congratulations for reading the End User License Agreement. You are now in an elite club of people who actually read these things. 😉

Second, I’m not lawyer and this should not be taken as legal advice. If you should need legal advice, ask a lawyer.

Third, I believe it’s there to cover themselves in case someone uses their software to pirate movies. At least they can say that they said the software was not to be used for that purpose and that the pirate was in violation of the EULA so Sony cannot be held accountable.

Fourth, you mileage may vary, void where prohibited by law, do not try this at home.
