Thanks for the replies. I have found a work around in right clicking the text box and then editing the text right away. It is still behaving quite buggy and is crashing the program often. I am going to submit directly to NewBlue.

Thanks for the reply. I do indeed use that program a fair amount and have tried it for the demux. But, unfortunately, I get an error that some tracks are not recognized and it is not able to demux the video. I’ll keep searching for some other options.

If I have Vegas Pro 10 installed along with 11, then all is well. If I uninstall 10 then Sony AVC render option disappears. If I then uninstall 11 and reinstall 11, it does not come back.

John, thank you for your assistance thus far. I am running into some difficulties with regard to getting the bitrate correct. When I render using the xvid codec, my test video comes out to 92160 (I rendered this one without sound). You can see the information for the original video. The movie clip is one that I rendered via MPEG-2 and then sent in to Americhip directly for file conversion. As you can see the bitrate for that one went down from 1128 to 628. Their original video looks pretty sharp when played with WMP even at a larger size. I would appreciate your helping me in order to set this codec properly. I’ve tried a number of settings but perhaps I am overlooking an obvious choice. Thanks.

Jeff, I completely dissected the device to get to know how it works. I am attempting to get another intact one from work. I suspect that it should not be to hard. The pharmaceutical reps where I live are actually quite aggressive to push their products. There is a micro USB connection in the device. Plug that into the computer and open the device and the battery will go into a charging mode. There are actually three push buttons. Only one is labeled. The other two are directly below the first. Just push the first labeled button and then button #2 under the first and then the bottom button in that order and the device will then become recognized by the computer. The videos are in a folder. There is a conversion utility on the Americhip website. It is quite limited in terms of size up upload though. I sent in a test video. This converted the video to AVI Xvid. I then replaced it in the appropriate folder. It worked great. It has definitely been fun to learn about this.
John, I have been hearing many times over the risks of installing codecs. I have done some additional reading about Xvid. Sony doesn’t actually support this format. There are some videos on YouTube that show what you are suggesting. If there is a risk in doing this, then I probably won’t take the risk. If this codec is OK, then I’ll give it a try. Thanks.

I thought a screen shot might be helpful regarding the info from the video clip.

My dynamic preview is set at 350 MB which is default. I do not have any FX in the project. With CPU only, it is still hanging around 35-40%. My CPU is a QX9770, top of the line a couple of years ago. I suspect I should just take what I get for now. I will be curious to see how things change after my next computer build.

John, I thank you for your reply. I was initially exited for the first 5 seconds where CPU utilization was at 70%. Then it went back to its usual 35-40%. Good thought though, but unfortunately to no avail. It would be nice if the Sony AVS render type would utilize the available CPU power. Any other thoughts? Thanks.

After doing a bit more reading, (I should have been able to figure this out on my own but do appreciate your responses) it appears that I really don’t have much use for dynamic ram preview so I’m just going to leave it at default.
I have a QX9770 processor which was great a couple of years ago. It is still working quite well at present. I have a 160 GB Intel G2 SSD for the operating system and programs. The CPU is overclocked to 3.6 GHz. I use Windows 7 64-bit. I am planning on my next build to include the 6-core Sandy Bridge Extreme with the X79 motherboard. I am also planning to get a couple of Sata III SSDs. This board has 2 DIMM slots on each side of the CPU so I plan on 8 GB of RAM. It should be able to handle much faster RAM given the increased bandwidth capabilities.

Thanks for the input. I did end up getting the 8GB Corsair memory. I suspect that this should help although I haven’t had a chance to do any tweaking/testing yet. For the price of DDR3 presently, this upgrade wasn’t all that bad. Now…for the next upgrade which will include the Core i7-3960X, that will cost a bit more.
