  Hi Spot, Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Not surprisingly - I disagree with bits of it. :-) Sorry for the length of this post, I don't have time to edit it and make it shorter, this is written inbetween marking some editing (!)

  RE: OT: The new book "Free Culture" amplifies some of the copyright arguments we've been having here
  Skevos, I appreciate your post, as it's not reactionary and well thought out. I'll first respond by saying that my stands on this issue are two-fold; 1. As an artist, as a beneficiary of the current system, and as a producer, I believe very strongly

  RE: Media: Fuji Versus Philips? (Ritek?)
  Oh, No! Never! Never! Unless it is an absolute emergency buy retail. You should never pay over $1 for media. The best media out there "Ritek" will only cost you $0.94 each with dvd cases. The cheapest worst media will only run $0.53. I suggest you

  RE: Absurdity of DVD Architect Registration Process
  I wouldn't usually reply to crap like this (you, Billy Boy), but I feel the need to explain. Do I think the SoFo registration process is the best idea out there? No. Does it further prevent pirating and sharing software? Yes. Do I think it's a

  RE: Xeon vs. Athlon MP dual CPUs, any difference?
  Here's what I did. First I looked at a Dell 530 Precision workstation, but Vegas Video doesn't effectively use the 900 XGL OpenGL video-card so scratch that. Next I looked at a dual Xeon leftover from Compaq - sold by Tiger Direct for about $2k

  Vegas 2.0 Registration...
  A potentially stupid question... If I were to purchase a copy of Vegas Video 2.0 (I found a bunch at my local Best Buy for $99), is it still possible to register it, now that 3.0 is out there? I'd like to use it as an upgrade path when $$$

  So, wouldn't you agree that comparing Vegas to Nuendo would be apples to oranges, considering the price? I can't find it, but I don't believe SF even claims to be such a recording product that would punch on the fly- not that it wouldn't be nice.
