Dave is right, 4GB is too little for ANYTHING on Win7.

Wesley, install Process Explorer and have a look at system resources. Turn on ALL the systray icons. That way you wont have to guess.

Hi Norman;

How did you “submit a bug report?”

I still have no answer from Sony on the support ticket I opened on 1/30/14 for the problem with Google+ YouTube integration breaking “upload to YouTube.”
https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/24/974126

I tried to get on Live Chat support today, but after waiting in the queue for over an hour, the system kicked me off because their 2-hour “lunch” window had started.

Is there an official way to submit a bug report?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Brian;

Search the Cow for “Kepler”.

See this:

https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-740M.89900.0.html

I’m very involved with these questions. My limited understanding at this point (changes daily) is that the Sony AVC encoder and the preview functions will work with *some* kepler chipsets – at least the Quadro series. My tests with the GT 680 Ti show that the Sony AVC does not take advantage of that GPU.
MainConcept will NOT take advantage of Kepler, either Quadro or other.

Good luck, hopefully the real brains of this forum will reply.

Install Process Explorer and see what is going on under the covers.

I’m with you, Stephen. I will NEVER buy any ransomeware product! Period.

If Sony makes that error, it will be time to abandon Vegas. There are other choices than Adobe. Heck, it might be time to help VideoLan Movie Creator take off:

[John Rofrano] ” My company wanted to put all this restrictive junk on my iPad and iPhone to use it at work and I told them, “No Way!” you’ll ruin my user experience.”

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.

I work for a large school district. We, as are all schools and libraries who accept Federal funds via the eRate program, are forced by the Feds to comply with CIPA (the Children’s Internet Protection Act). This means that the default content restriction policy, the one that has to be in place for all internet access by children, is applied to any device where the identity of the user cannot be determined.

Keep in mind that Apple a few years back chose to abandon the Identity Management/Directory Services market to Microsoft and Novell. Novell put up a brave fight, but they went under and now the only one left is Microsoft – Active Directory (AD). Even Google, vast and pretty evil, supports AD. On iPads, it is impossible for a teacher to authenticate to AD. Mind you, we have no urge to restrict by AD policy – quite the opposite; when a teacher or employee authenticates to AD, they are granted MORE access to the internet. For example, they can access Youtube, certain aspects of Facebook, WordPress, etc.

Apple’s policies result in a worse user experience for iPads, compared to Android, Mac OS, or Windows. They support AD very nicely in Mac OS – why they won’t make that available as an app for iOS is beyond me. But, as long as they keep selling us iPads – 19K of them and counting for us – they don’t need to care.

We will soon be spending over $70K/year on a NGFW that supports Captive Portal, as a work-around for Apple’s stubbornness.

It does not stop with content filtering. Apple does not understand that the way they do Multicast and zero-config is very, very problematic in an enterprise setting. It has nothing to do with us wanting to restrict users – far from it, we want to keep the networks humming along without broadcast storms or every Apple TV device in the network showing up in a pick-list.
https://www.citeworld.com/mobile/20563/apples-bonjourairplay-poses-network-challenges-it

And don’t get me started on the way they ignore WiFi standards, or RFC 2131 & 2132, or refuse to properly release DHCP leases.

My daughter sure loves her Mac … but I can’t stand to use any touch pad that does not support tap-and-a-half. I’m just whacky that way. At least a few years back they started supporting three-button wheel mice.

Sorry to rant again … one reason I have not been on the Cow for the last week is because supporting iPads is taking up all my spare time and I have not been able to take lunch all week…

Thanks for clarifying that, John.

Hrm … as I edit, I’m always experimenting with things, doing intermediate renders, tweaking the VeeDub64 decimate settings to get a different time lapse value, etc. To constantly be converting to Cineform or some other intermediate would greatly disrupt my work flow.

However, I will start looking for the “predominanat” source type and setting the project to that.

Thanks again,

Yeah, I’ve been meaning to try that, but just don’t have must time during the day … Gotta remember to skip lunch and see if I can get through – but I need to make sure I don’t take my lunch when they take theirs:

Monday – Friday: 09:00 AM – 12:30 PM, 02:00 PM – 04:30 PM CST
Saturday – Sunday: Closed

[John Rofrano] “You just pretty much described the components in the new Mac Pro (Xeon E5, ECC Memory, AMD FirePro GPU, etc.). Why not get one of them and be ready if Sony releases Vegas Pro for Mac just like they did with Sound Forge for Mac?”

Thanks for taking the time to reply, John. I’ll check out the VideoGuys!

Right now I’m mostly wondering if the FirePro V4900 has the Vegas/MainConcept compatible hardware to take advantage of GPU accelleration.

The Mac is a beautiful machine, but I’m just not an Apple fan. For me, it’s not just the “Apple tax.” What follows is a rant, yes, my apologies in advance, and attention Apple Fanboys and Girls: I want you to be happy with your Apple stuff – I mean that sincerely.

I work with Apple products a lot; in my job we have to support over 10,000 iPads and thousands of Macs. I bought my daughter a MacBook Pro for college and an iPad mini. I deal with the the suits from Apple every few weeks. Sadly, they, and the company, are arrogant. They have a “take it or leave it” attitude that rubs me the wrong way. Every time we raise an objection about iOS and the way Apple ignores WiFi standards, or refuses to support Active Directory authentication (making it nearly impossible to apply granular content filtering i.e. student/staff) or even something simple like lock the name of the iPad via MDM, their reply is always the same: “we don’t want to interfere with the User Experience.” They make Microsoft, the former Evil Empire of the IT world, seem warm and fuzzy by comparison. Heck, it took them years to just support 3-button wheel mice!

Besides, even though the underlying guts of a Mac is Darwin, a beautifully fine Unix variant, I just plain dislike the look and feel of the OS. It would be torture for me to sit in front of one, when eventually Sony releases Vegas for Mac. Yes I know I can run Windows on the Mac hardware, and that is what I would do, even after Vegas For Mac is out.

Buying a Mac for my kid is way different than buying one for me. She really wanted it, she is not an IT geek, and I live to keep her happy – she is hard-working and I love her dearly.

Ok, done ranting… sorry.
