Any signs of a new version of Video Factory

I am new to Sonic Foundry. How long has Video Factory been out. Are there any plans for a new version soon ? I dont see any direct links to the mpeg2 encoder. Does anyone know about how much that plugin is ? Cant really decide if I want to spend the big bucks and get Vegas 4 + DVD or just go with Video Factory and the Mpeg2 encoder. I have several authoring programs and my main projects will be dvd slideshows. I needed a program that does the pan/zoom and these products excel at that.

If memory serves, Video Factory 2 came out in 2001. Obviously, no one but Sonic Foundry knows when (if?) a new version is coming out.

There are two MPEG plugins you can buy with VF, a standard and a pro version. See this link for more info:

An option to buy the codec will pop up the first time you try to use any MPEG-2 functionality.

Video Factory can't burn any DVDs, but with the optional MPEG-2 plugin, it can DVD compliant MPEG-2 files.
