V8 is light years better than V7, but something that I saw a lot with on HDV in V7 still occasionally rears it's head in V8. http://www.firstsightpictures.com/vegasgrab.jpg see where the audio flatlines. This is a Vegas rendered m2t. The original audio in the original project is fine and even this rendered file plays perfect in WMP, but drop it on the timeline and the audio drops out where it flatlines. I deleted the sfk and rebuilt, but still the same problem. Anyone have a clue?
