Exporting Markers In Vegas

Hey there we use vegas to master tracks for use in an automated music playout system
for hotels and venues. Is there a way to export the marker information stored within the file to and xml (or other format) to help with things like cuepoints and hooks?? I know there is the scott studios commands...but does anybody know of a way to read and export these markers????

I usually bring up the edit list (alt-4), select "markers", select all, copy and paste into Excel for future processing. Works like a breeze.

Thanks for the feedback, however have tried this and it means having to throw the tracks up in the timeline one by one. I need to be able to extract the marker data relative to the start and end of the region within the timeline (for cuepoints). I usually throw around 100 tracks in the timeline at a time and work through mastering each one for levels, tops tails etc rendering each back out as i go. I know i can save the marker information within the file i render out......is there any way to extract the markers within the rendered file??? Or is there a script for v4 that will aloow me to export markers on the timeline with a reference to the regions they sit in???

Many thanks for the feedback so far

My point (re the referenced thread) is you may not be able to do what you want to do effectively because of the poor marker management feature in VV.
