32 bit and 64 bit versions of Vegas do co-exist. I have been doing so since version 9.

The installation problems seem to be unique to your setup.

Are you installing as a local administrator?

Maybe Sony will do a FCP X Number on its users 🙂

I never burn from DVDA as I found many discs would not play properly.

I use DVDA to prepare the DVD and then use Nero to actually burn the video_ts files. You can also control the burn speed, unlike DVDA. I burn 16X DVDs only at 8x or 12x max.

Some brands do have quality issues, but Sony has been generally good to me. I use Verbatim now.

$2.50 also includes editing. Where do I sign up?

You have to get Edius for that – lol!

I use after market Sony batteries (purchased in 2007) which are all still in use, bar one (was inherited as a second hand unit with an Ikan screen). Occasionally the Infolithium chip fails to communicate with the battery and the camera does not recognise it. All I do is reseat the battery. This happens to me on genuine Sony batteries just as often, so go figure.

The battery remaining time of after market batteries is usually ‘optimistic’ as Steven puts it, so you need to be careful. I regularly check and charge my batteries and they last.

I do buy from reputable local dealers who offer 6 month warranties, and will still be in business next week :-). Their batteries are not the ridiculously low priced units offered on line for less than $20, but are usually a quarter of the price of the genuines. They are better quality.

As Stephen says, newer cameras seem to be less tolerable to knock-offs. IMHO after market batteries seem to be OK for older camera models.

Genuine batteries from Sony are way over-priced, but you need to weigh up the risks of using after market batteries. If your shoot is paying big dollars, always carry your genuine battery with you just in case.

I am interested, but am not sure of the legalities surrounding seeking payment for DVDA themes. Perhaps one of the more experienced Cow leaders on this forum can advise.

You might also want to get in touch with Frederic Baumann who is developing a plug-in for Vegas and may have advice on how to proceed in this instance.
