Unfortunately, this new capability appears to be only for CUDA technology:
https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/news/ShowRelease.asp?ReleaseID=734&CatID=0“GPU-accelerated AVC Rendering: Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum can now use the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) in equipped computers to improve AVC rendering performance and speed, which allows final projects to be published faster than ever before. Users with a CUDA-enabled NVIDIA® video card are able to encode to the Sony AVC format using GPU-accelerated rendering.”
I already have an ATI card that I like and don’t want to get rid of – if the slots are available, can I install an Nvidia card and just use it for encoding?

Thanks for the thoughts and trying it on your setup. I’ve submitted a “question” at Sony support to see what they have to say.

I can see that these wmvs have become a weak link – both in quality and usability and it seems obvious now that I should use the native AVI. They’re obviously not the way to continue, but I’ve already done about 14 of them and would like to at least use them.
However, I think my general workflow is ok, since it is a methodology and is separate from the quality of the footage used.
