He’s talking to me Matt…See Stever and I, well we have been having this exact same discussion since, oh I don’t know what, version 8?(maybe 7?) and every time he has said that it works fine for him, and that they’ll get it right next time, just “be patient”
I’m sorry if my previous comments came off as a personal attack Steve, I apologize. I want you to do me a big favor please. I am assuming your are going to NAB? If you are, and you get the chance to talk to the Vegas people, go ahead and tell them how great you think Pro 11 is…But…
Please tell them about me, tell them about this guy “Chuck in Chicago.” He has been using your product for ten years now, and he feels that each new release has had more issues than the last. Please tell them that I have submitted LITERALLY THOUSANDS of crash reports over the years. How I have contacted support dozens of times, and each time, they tell me to clean my registry or some other trivial solution!
Tell them how I have invested thousands of dollars in their products, and I have always had hope that in each new release they would correct the major issues plaguing the previous.
If you don’t have serious issues with Vegas Steve that’s fine…But I do, for years now, every time I mention an issue, a dozen people comment that they feel my pain and are experiencing the exact same issue…
So please Steve, tell them about us…We are the 99%! LOL

Here’s my question…How can a program… that can now handle freakin 3D and Closed Captioning not handle the most basic of Windows CODEC the .AVI?
I work primarily in .AVI and that probably explains many of my crashes..I also mix multiple CODECs…A major feature that Sony has touted for years…That has never worked…
I also have the (99% CRASH) when doing several different things. I realized what you are saying about the ESC button, definitely a frustrating change. Are you using a Shuttle Pro? I may be adding that to one of my extra buttons later tonight.
But don’t forget…All of these issues are either operator error or in our heads!

Wow, it almost took you 40 whole minutes to jump onto a thread to defend Vegas Steve…You gotta be quicker than that or Sony won’t send you your check this week! LOL
[Steve Rhoden] i believe
will soon become rock solid again.”How many years have you been saying that??? At least 5 now???
How many hundreds of times have you responded to a post saying that all of these glitches are user error, or a system error, or that things aren’t that bad and they will soon get better Steve?
Bottom-line is that Sony needs to get it together NOW, and you aren’t helping the cause by vigorously defending them every day!

I’m thinking of making a Sony Vegas “Crash Compilation” video (In Premiere of course!) and hopefully with some help from everyone, we can get it to go viral and maybe Sony will finally listen!

Don’t mind me, I was just passing by on my was to ball up in the corner and cry for a while, when I saw these posts. After fighting (LITERALLY DOZENS of crashes) on Pro 11 all day yesterday just to get through a relatively simple edit, I wake up this morning to find that every transition has either black or the wrong video in the middle, and there are missing frames randomly throughout my video. Someone talk me down before I run out and buy a MAC!

Well the good news is that Premiere CS5.5 is about as bad as Vegas 11 (Maybe 10). I don’t expect Vegas to disappear anytime soon, however if the trend continues of each version of Vegas being worse than the previous, I fully expect the Pro 15 will burn your house down, and Pro 20 will start Global Thermal Nuclear War that will most certainly kill us all!

Hey Craig, there are two different machines, but they are the same router. It appears that the Wirecast stream goes out on to the internet and back to the server. I would like to hard code or direct connect the two machines to save the upload/download bandwidth that is used to get the stream between the two machines.
Thanks again,
Chuck

Best solution would be to adapt from XLR to BNC. I think Markertek has a cable for that, which would then feed a regular BNC DA.

[Jeremy Garchow] “I would format the drive in the KiPro once you are done transferring. It’s the best way to ensure you have a “good seal”.”
I will certainly do that before my next recording.
[Jeremy Garchow] “Likewise, it’s good to know a Windows guru. I am extremely Windows naive (read: adverse). I know, it’s a character flaw.”
I understand your being adverse to Windows. I am a huge fan of the PC concept for the simple fact that I am able to tinker with my rig, and am able to update my system whenever I feel like it by swapping out a board or processor when I have some spare cash. That being said, I also have to use a combination of Vegas, Adobe Production Suite, and a host of third party plug-ins to do what you can do with Final Cut Pro. With the introduction of the Ki-Pro and streaming into my workflow, a Mac is almost a necessity, something I am currently mulling over.

[Jeremy Garchow] “I think that’s OK. Is the file OK? Have you reformatted the drive using the KiPro lately? What the run time of the file?”
The new file I dubbed from a DVCAM tape worked fine. It only had a 1 hour runtime, I recently shot a project with 2 hour files no problem. I also used MACdrive to format the drive once I was finished, hopefully it was just a fluke.
[Jeremy Garchow] “If you’re a few blocks from Gary, then I am a few more from you!”
You’re right, we’re practically neighbors… It’s good to know I have two Ki-Pro gurus nearby!
