Quite a few people have contacted us about an update for the MPEG-2 encoder- this is still being tested and is not ready for prime time quite yet. No beta version is currently available. We will be shipping the updated/improved encoder with Vegas 4 and it will also be available for Vegas 3 users as a separate download (not as Vegas 3.0d). This forum will be notified when it is ready. Thanks for your patience.
