  RE: Import FFV1
  @aaronstanley75 If you don't want to throw away any of your FFV1 archival detail, you would need to convert to another lossless format Vegas can read. Lossless hevc works but is very processor intensive. There's also a 3rd party lossless codec with

  RE: Help needed...New to Voukoder 13.4.1
  The Vimeo bitrate is about 6Mbit/s and at 1080P60 H.264 the video is too complex for the compression, it would look far worse on YouTube. Based on even an AV1 version I made looking not great either I conclude it may not be possible to make this

  RE: Question: 8 vs 10-bit HEVC Renders?
  VEGAS AV1 would be fine in regards to encode quality except for frequent glitched frames in my testing (which doesn't show up in render metrics). There are also decoding issues with AV1 though only when the CPU decoder is used. Hopefully development

  RE: Vegas using a single core for rendering?
  @Gid I messed up, I encoded AV1 to project resolution 60fps, I didn't see the single core activity so I modified the project and then used hardware encoding. I tried just then with modified project encoding to AV1 1080P 60 but still getting 100% CPU

  RE: Question: 8 vs 10-bit HEVC Renders?
  I can tell you anecdotally my own testing says stay away from HEVC and AV1 for SD renders of old DV source. The codecs are optimized for high resolution captures and end up discarding lots of data in SD because the algo mistakes it as noise. Believe

  RE: VEGAS PRO 22 HAVE THE WORST AV1 DECODING: CHROMA SUBSAMPLING 4:1:0
  Can you look at media properties while holding shift and see what decoder is being used? If it's still using a hardware decoder the test isn't meaningful. You might have to disable the GPU in device manager or test on a system incapable of AV1

  RE: Audio is indiscriminately 15 frames off from HD video after importing
  The default MagixAVC settings are fine for YouTube. If you see compression artifacts with the rendered file, increase the bitrate. Personally I avoid QSV encoding with AVC and AV1 in VEGAS for quality reasons. If you really want those do them

  P.S. Sure AV1 is more modern, with more features and so provides better quality. I'm not arguing that.  To me it's not better quality, but just same quality at lower bitrates/smaller filesizes. It's all about keeping the quality of the original
