What "new patch"? There is no "new patch" for Platinum 9. The last update was in September 2008 (very unfortunately).

As for AVCHD, as long as you have a faster than 2.4 Ghz Dual2Core CPU and 3 GBs of RAM, AVCHD is real time on Vegas. You just need a fast PC.

Hi,
I have 2,4 GHz and only 2 Gb ram (WInXP) and can not render AVCHD. If I take one more Gb (3), it should be enough? Or I have to buy a better processor too?
Best regards

Don't confuse things. Do you mean "render" or "preview"? Also, having 2.4 Ghz of a CPU does not tell us what architecture that was: Pentium 4, or Dual Core, or Quad Core?

Hi,
I have a dual core duo E6600, I can't render avchd files in AVChd, the program stops in few seconds, and the prewiew is bad. (and I dont' speak English, sorry in advance for my mistakes). But I can render AVchd files in in dvd formats. It works very well.
Thanks

Exporting in the actual AVCHD 1980i format using the SonyAVC is known to crash. Known bug that Sony hasn't fixed.

So, it isn't worth to improve my pc, is it good enough? I have only to wait for a new version of Studio?

That, and you have to email Sony to fix the crashing of SonyAVC. If people don't email them, they will never fix it.

I appologize as I accidently posted this to the wrong forum, I meant to post it to the Vegas Pro 9 forum.

To be honest, I did not have a problem with AVCHD in Vegas Movie Studio 9 at all. I was able to import, edit, and render hidef video with no problem. There are major problems with it Vegas Pro 9, as well as issues with other file formats that Movie Studio handled fine.

In the final analysis I regret upgrading to the Pro version, but I wanted to be able to use more than 4 video tracks. For most of my projects what Movie Studio offers was just fine. So if anyone is thinking of upgrading, my advice to you is to download the trial first.

Every once in a while having only 4 video tracks becomes a problem. Perpahs in the next version of VMS, Sony will 1) gives us a few more video tracks or 2) let us have any combination of 8-tracks of video/audio we choose (for example: 6/2 video/audio or 5/3 video/audio rather than just 4/4). In most cases I can live with 2 or 3 audio tracks.

I wonder if any users have suggested option 2 to Sony in the past?
