Internal settings

By now, I guess many of you folks know about the internal settings. While most settings are rather self-descriptive, there are still settings that we may not be quite sure of, especially those with long names (the field name column width is not adjustable), with value range, or simply those with cryptic names. I thought maybe you folks may share with all some of the settings you already "played" with and have a fair bit of knowledge about what some settings do.

Some, I notice are pretty interesting:

Use Multi Monitor API's - I wonder if this has anything to do with multi-monitor display and edit..

Event Group Selection - maybe this will allow you to select grouped events with a single-click.

Write encode statistics to text file - sounds like a good idea if you are a quality inspector type of person.

Memory needed by Vegas - I wonder if increasing this will improve preview performance and rendering power.

Default VideoTemplate - default to NTSC DV template, changing this sound like a good idea for folks from PAL land or often deal with other formats.

Max supersamples - wow, if you think you have super monster machines that nothing your machine can not handle, try increasing the value for this.

Timestretch Quality - Tweaking this may give better audio quality with timestretched audio, I guess..

Just a strong word of caution to those that go exploring these internal prefs...you can cripple your Vegas install if you do, so go carefully. You might find yourself reinstalling Vegas. And losing all your prefs.

Ctrl & Shift.

Depends on what you did to the build, Grazie. But as Chienworks pointed out, it's CTRL+Shift to reset everything. However, there are prefs that can be set to make Vegas not even want to boot, if you don't know what you're doing...
