Hi everyone,
I am being inundated this week with invitations to upgrade for $191 to Sony Vegas 10. SHOULD I DO IT???? It sounds like great value…?
uh oh… I too am an XP64 user with version 8.1. And I too spent a few years getting it JUST RIGHT for my little world….
And I realize I am going to be blasted for saying this, but I would much rather ANY DAY OF THE WEEK run an OS with 32 processes rather than 60+ (most of which are irrelavant to everyone apart from microsoft).
And wow, it even supports my 12GB ram.
It’s nothing to do with paranoia – I run w7 on two other laptops. They spend all day patching themselves, running processes that noone has a clue about 🙂 But if I want a clean, effective, non-invasive, uncluttered OS with support for >4MB RAM, XP64 is really the only Windows “desktop” platform that will do it. Just my opinion! please don’t hate me :-)!!
So I basically have to decide by tomorrow. The offer ends 6/30 and I really want to go to v10.
Will the registry hacks work? I will do anything to keep my beloved XP64 alive!!!
best wishes everyone!

I think in Ulead Media Studio it was Edit / Find Gaps and it would list all the gaps. Or you could delete them all (very useful if your editing skills are low/non-existent like mine). A lot of people rubbished MediaStudio, oh how I wish they didn’t abandon it 🙂

sorry – this version of Vegas should read version 8.1 (x64)
So to sum up – I really do NOT know what I am doing. I seem to have three options? I lack the skills to know what I should be choosing, if any of these?
1. create Mainconcept AVC MP4 (no presets for my AVC bitrate, only low values, so I tried manually entering avg bitrate 20mbps, peak 25mbps?)
2. Create Mainconcept M2T file (files seemed good but MASSIVE after some transitions)
3. Create a SONY AVC file. Would not render 1920×1080 – only 1440×1080. Looked nice though 🙂 -
gosh i hope not. being cash strapped vegas 8 is all i could afford.
Documentation indicates that it can handle AVCHD from Sony camcorders.
It also does seem to have a render option for Sony AVC – should I be using that? Or Mainconcept? Apologies for not being on the latest and greatest, hoping my situation will change shortly 🙂
