I'm using the software (Ulead) that came with the bundle. Is there anything that I need to check or uncheck to have these two programs work at the same time? Ulead acts buggy. Windows not opening properly, etc..
I have a bundled Ulead program that came with my computer. It was "so-so", as far as what it could do. Would crash the computer a lot and would also somehow get the field order of the videos reversed too often. Once I got Vegas, I never bothered with the Ulead again. Work with Vegas only, you'll learn very fast and you'll never look back at Ulead again either. Give yourself a couple of months to get use to it and you'll see. Plus, the guys on this forum really will help you. You can't expect them to want to answer questions about 'bundled' software programs from competitors. Most bundled programs are missing certain functions and you can't get any help from the manufacturers without having to jump through hoops and play "e-mail tag".
I second Gr8Steve, I have ULEAD products on my machine, they have become VERY dusty, VV is all you need.
Oh yeah, I remember having to contact ULEAD tech support quite a while back, it was not a pleasant experiance, Sony/Sonic Foundry has always been good.
I was trapped with ULead 5.0 for about 6 months a few years back when I was in Mexico and couldnt get anything else. I learned to hate it with a passion. You couldnt edit in the timeline and it was forever stopping to render something. Maybe the newer versions are better. It was reliable though, never failed to render (like Pinnacle Studio did). Perhaps you just got Vegas and aren't into it yet. It is so superior to ULead in every way you will never regret spending the time to get used to it (Vegas).
The only feature i really miss in Vegas is the possibility to edit mpeg files without recompression, wich Media Studio have. Very usefull to slightly reedit long mpeg segments. Otherwise, it's a pain for me to use it, really...
