Magix AVC does not honor the profile setting

Exactly as the topic states. All the way back to Vegas 18, up to including 22 build 93 ...

Create a new project, drop a generated media event onto a video track, and an empty event onto an audio track.
Render, select Magix AVC, internet 1080p and set framerate to 59.94 and profile to MAIN.

Check output with MediaInfo, profile is HIGH.

I'm recalling that 1080 p60 may not be supported in the Main Profile spec, so Vegas seems to be doing the right thing. You can find the industry Profile charts on Wikipedia.

@_litz It seems that it goes back even to Vegas 17. But any profile that includes a GPU, such as NVIDIA or Intel QSV, results in High Profile on my system, even 15 fps multimedia preset. The only profiles where I can get Basic or Main is with the non-GPU Mainconcept codec (in the Magix AVC profiles).
