fwiw,,, just finished a small project ,60 sec spot , from 4 tapes of hdv all captured with vegas ,,with no issues at all using vista and vegas 8a,, Not a vista fan, but had a situation where it had to be used.
This my be comman knowlege that vista ,vegas and hdv work ok,,, but i was extremely concerned.
Thanks for posting this. I know it's a rare thing for anyone to think something working is newsworthy but after all the Vista bashing around here it sure makes for a change.
Sometimes "No News" is good news. Keeping a balanced view on this software, I believe, is what this forum espouses to be, which is a rather good thing indeed.
