Here’s a post from “markwww” on the Sony Media Software” forum. You have to use 3 mini-plugs, not SPDIF.

Here is the short answer per Mark:
As I attempted to explain in my previous reply, to send multichannel audio via the S/P-DIF requires it to be compressed/encoded to a single datastream using something like AC3 or DTS. To use a setup like this for mixing/monitoring surround audio with Vegas would require the six audio channels to be encoded to AC3 “on the fly” and Vegas cannot do this (and nor can any of its competitors as far as I know).This means that (for mixing/monitoring surround audio in Vegas) you need to feed the audio to the amp/speaker system via separate uncompressed connections, usually three stereo pairs – you cannot use a single S/P-DIF connection for this purpose. (You can use the S/P-DIF connection for surround audio that is already encoded to AC3, for example from a DVD or a a game, but not for audio that is not already encoded to AC3, such as that coming from a Vegas surround mixing session.)
To explicitly answer your question: There is no card (either above or below $100) that can allow you to use the single S/P-DIF connection for surround mixing/monitoring in Vegas. Any soundcard must use separate uncompressed (usually analog) connections for this purpose. And to hear the surround audio from Vegas you are going to need an amp/speaker system which can accept these separate multichannel inputs.

Yes. One thing I don’t like about this software, is that the “copy protection code” is linked to the computer you originally install it on. If you get another computer, your at their mercy. I did get a new “code” when I had to buy a new computer. Give them a phone call.

This gives a whole new meaning to the term

Thanks to both of you!
I was using the wrong eye dropper tool.
This is a nice plug-in that I would have never known about, thanks!

The pimple is not that bad. depending on how much extra time you want to spend on this for free, you can do any of several things. Tell her your not the makeup artist, and re-shoot it. Try a soft fx like glow to soften the look. Key frame a fx just on the pimple…real time waster.

I have two Sony VX2000’s which are essentially the same as the 2100, they both have Sony wide angle lenses, and both are in pristine condition. I may sell them for the right price in order to move to high def cameras. If interested go to my website on my profile (or click the logo below) and send me an email.

I don’t have my vegas machine on now, but try making the png art your “main menu” and have the video return to that.

just make the png the end action and hold at the end of your video. then hit play to restart the video when needed.
