HDV was the first offender. Tapes from Canon camera won't plan in Sony cameras and neither will play in Panasonic or JVC cameras. This was the beginning of the end.

Hey, HDV's still a codec format to me, not a camera format. Same camera = always compatible footage. :D But yes, even different camera's can be a PITA, I even encounted that with DV & Digital8 some times.

because people expect Video to be Video just like DV was DV. News Flash: Video is NOT Video! (i.e., 1 + 1 does not always equal 2 for very large values of 1) ;-)

It's like getting married: 1+1 = 1 (and now you are one). :D

If you didn't upgrade to Windows Vista, 7 or 8, Windows XP still worked fine and any bugs were still squashed. I wish Vegas was like that.

Speak for yourself, I'm glad to be rid of XP. Most issues with any OS ever, 98SE & 2K were far more reliable. Just because they didn't update the previous ones so much as far as I'm concerned. To much junk forced on the users to fix all the bugs they developed in to it.

Chances are very good that I have nothing to add to this discussion ... but I will not read that huge "run on" paragraph in post #1 ... so we will never know.

+1 to Atom12. I agree with the convert all your footage to .MXF or a Sony Pro codec, then check your stability.

I also think that Vegas is more an AMD product than NVIDIA, due to the seemingly better timeline acceleration of AMD cards. This is probably due to AMD focusing on OpenCL more than NVIDIA, which seems to be trying to make a more proprietary compute product. I know this makes for a difficult decision, since all the other PC NLE's seem to cater to NVIDIA. I think when budgets are tight, people look at the best bang for their buck, and not the best solution for the specific application. For example, "if I buy an nvidia card, then I will be able to run Crysis well, AVID, Premier, and Blender well....and Sony says they support NVIDIA...." This is not the way to build a stable tool.

Encoding MP4 final is not how I build my system, as I spend more time editing on the timeline than encoding output. I prefer timeline acceleration over encoding speed.

I got no issue with my 2xGTX580 setup, timeline or otherwise. It's just that many don't want to accept that the "old" 500 series is the best for Vegas and go out and buy 600, 700 or even Quadro K cards just because they want to be 'in" and have the latest model. After all this they come here and complain that it doesn't work so well... what can I see... we told you so.

I agree with (atar).. I also "spend more time editing on the timeline" and less time trying to re-invent the wheel. That last part I added.
