email support doesn't work for me

I'm posting this here because I couldn't find a forum for "meta-support"... and the original question concerns Vegas 11 video. When I click on "email support" (http://www.custcenter.com/cgi-bin/sonypictures.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php), it prompts me to sign in even though I'm already signed in. When I enter my email and password and it says my account is disabled... but it can't be if I'm posting here. Anyone know how to get around this?

My original question is that when rendering 1920x1080 mp4 with MainConcept, it produces blocky artifacts if GPU assist is enabled (NVIDIA GTX550Ti, Driver version 8.17.13.142), but not with cpu-only (but rendering is much slower). With Sony AVCHD, there are no blocky artifacts but rendering fails if the duration is longer than ~1min with "An error occurred while creating the media file, the reason for the error could not be determined". The input is POV.HD helmet camera video (1920x1024, 30P) and the intended output is local computer display with the highest possible quality. The machine is a 6core i7 3.3GHz with 16GB running 64bit Win7 and Vegas 11 build 682. Any advice will be appreciated.

First, SCS tech support does acknowledge some issues on some PC's with Main Concept MP4 encoder and GPU support. The workaround is to turn GPU support off in the "modify template" option. (Then save the new profile with a new name so that you can quickly call it again).

On the login information - Are you going into "My Account" then "My Support"?

There is a phone number that is well hidden (1.800.577.6642) for customer service. It's likely hidden because Customer Service is there to help you with things like password problems or order and registration issues. THEY ARE NOT THERE TO FIX YOUR PC!

Do not confuse Customer Service with Technical Support.

It's a completely separate account and, as such, needs a different registration.

I created another account under Support\SendUsYourTechnicalSupportQuestion and successfully submitted the question. Thanks!
