I just want to note that the bug I reported in this thread has not been fixed, although according to SonicIMC it was added to the database. Please, please, please check it out.......
Unfortunately the internal MPEG-2 encoding still takes twice as long compared to external encoding using the same MainConcept encoder running under Win-XP. Can we expect this to be fixed in the next release?
I can state this. It seems it only happens using Vegas 4 on WinXP. Encoding time on W2k is at least double as fast as it is on WinXP.
Some interfaces in Vegas 4 not optimized for XP?
The keyframe bug Philfort mentioned is linked in the post above his.
Reprinted here:
"I've noticed that with Vegas 4, upon entering the Pan/Crop tool of a clip that has already been given pan/crop keyframes, you have to click in the keyframe area twice in order to move keyframes left and right. The first time you click, it gives you a marquee to select several keyframes at once, even if you click directly on a keyframe."
As I said above, SonicIMC said it was added to the database....hopefully someone will take another look at it. It drives me nuts, as I do a lot of Pan/Crop stuff.
This is news to me. I am considering switching from ME to XP to increase stability. Will this increase my rendering times--I was hoping it would improve it.
I cannot state render times increase in general on WinXP, I never tested this.
I only know encoding time of MPEG-2 encoding will encrease comparing Windows 2000 to WinXP. Don't know how about ME to XP, sorry.
