[Gordon Mcdowell]

I’m running both Vegas 8.0c and Vegas 9.0b (both 32-bit). I’ve got a few projects I can’t render whole… the last complex one involved me rendering it in about 40 tiny pieces and ate up a whole day (for a 20 minute video).

Every time SONY releases an update, I try render the same project with their latest version to see if it has stabilized.

The project itself is a mix of all formats… AVCHD, MPEG-4 (from Aiptek cameras) and MPEG-2.

Is there any mechanism SONY’s internal codecs could be bypassed? FFMPG as used by VLC seems 100% reliable. I’d like to try convince SONY that the video data is uncompressed because its coming from a different decoder.
