I won't be able to run it myself for a few days. I was hoping that if anybody had ran it they could share the results, compared to their old results?

I got a few seconds improvement under Vegas 5 using rendertest.veg. Probably most people will want to see how rendering from DV source and MPEG2 rendering compare.

That's why I logged onto the net a few minutes ago. I had the exact (down to the second) times. Really disapoited me cuz I've heard that the MC standalone encoder goes faster then Vegas. Oh well. :(

4 seconds faster
Dell dual xeon 2.66, 2 gigs, Vegas 5 trial Render test=1:44
Dell dual xeon 2.66, 2 gigs, Vegas 4 trial Render test=1:48

Waiting for my Pinnacle LE trial. I own FCP4 and am looking for something else. I thought Vegas would be it, but Sony seems to want to keep Vegas as consumer software. Premeir Pro may have something too. Hmmm.....

Premiere? You're kidding,right? They think "real time" means you can push the mouse button and it clicks in "real time" on the screen. Trust me, after using Premiere for years Vegas was a God send.

Can you explain what you mean by consumer?

How does bezier masks, 5.1 authoring, network rendering, (declink support is on the way), new compositing functionality etc, equal consumer?

Vegas is cheaper then competition. In "pro" world the more $$$ you spend = more "pro" you are. What work you do has nothing to do with it. ;)

Oh, is that why I am taking all of these "pro's" money?
I'm booking very respectable gigs on my "consumer" system.
I thinbk the days of "Big money editing systems" is just about over.
the hard core old school boys and girls will linger and fade away. Progress dictates this and end the end these "consumer" based systems wil be doing all of the work.

Truth be told, there will alaways be more crap to edit than there are good editers. 500 plus cable channells and rising, global networks and broadcasting, internet broadcasting..it continues to grow. Saturation has demanded a faster and less exspensive way to edit quality programming. NLE and digital will make it happen. ONLINE? Why? It will die.. NLE is just begining.sony will be there and so will Vegas.....
Wanna BET ME?

I don't wanna bet on something I know will happen. :) Hey, every other NLE will eventuatly drop to around $1000. Look at 3d program prices. When I was back in college ('98-00) Maya cost around $25,000. Few years later it dropped down to around $4000 to compete against the non"pro" programs like Lightwave. Why? Cuz lightwave could do almost all that Maya could do but a LOT cheaper.

Same thing with Vegas. :)
