Which updates?

I seem to have no problems when rendering out AVI files or Sony AVC or MPG files just seems to be the Mainconcept ones.
I have not had NewBlue Titler crash yet and overal 11 is stable.
I just finished a 48 Minute SD Project for DVD and it rendered to AVI fine. Just wish Vegas would handle .MOD files internally I have to drag them in from windows explorer.

Which updates?

The Microsoft updates depending which version of Windows you have.

@Laurence - what drivers version do you have?
"...NVIDIA drivers prior to R270 are not allowed for GPU-accelerated video processing as they can cause crashes..."

Redpaw, you beat me to it. :)

Laurence, try the very latest driver (if you dont have it already of course).

Try the Beta, version 290.36. Its right there on the page. (option 3).
Good luck.

"Fixed an issue that could cause events to use the wrong media in certain circumstances (seen when project is later loaded)."

Anyone check this? I cant as i never had the issue.

"Fixed an issue that could cause events to use the wrong media in certain circumstances (seen when project is later loaded)."

This sounds like "Vegas Replaced the Footage" to me also. Is it completely out of the question for a 10f release just to patch up such a major bug? What do you guys think? Considering the magnitude of the bug and the fact that Sony never fixed it in any prior release, why not give us a patch?

Pretty sure there will never be a 10f release. Doubt it :(
But hoping someone can at least confirm its fixed now in 11.
Yes, sounds like a major problem for a lot of people.

Paul.

"BUT the multicam limit is still restricted to 8 cams in total. After that you get very low playback fps. So back to Sony on that point."

Thanks Paul for that info - I'm in the middle of a huge, 10-camera project, and last night I got the answer from SCS for the first time in my related case. They didn't address the "limit of 8" directly, but suggested that the new build might solve it...

I was tempted to install and check - this would make my remaining work on this project so much easier - but now, thanks to your post, I'll wait for a while...

Piotr

PS Good Lord, is it so difficult for SCS to admit there actually IS a limit? The GPU load dropping from 70% with 8 tracks to 4% with 9 is clear enough evidence of it...Before they acknowledge it, we cannot count on eliminating, or at least increasing the limit...

Lawrence,

With Build 425 I was not able to use the latest Quadro driver, Vegas was crashing, hanging, etc. I rolled back to a previous driver, all good, and had GPU acceleration.

With Build 511, like you, GPU acceleration was nowhere to be found. So I tried updating to the latest driver again, and no more crashing (for now at least) as before, and GPU acceleration is back in place. Happy.

Why?

"Pretty sure there will never be a 10f release."

There has never been any further updates for older versions once a new one is released.

"There has never been any further updates for older versions once a new one is released."

Can you recall an equally major bug going unresolved in any previous version? This feels different to me?

Its as Mike said, they have never done this before. Historically, once a new version is released, they seem to draw a line under the previous version and move on. Ok that doesnt make it right! I was just pointing out this is what they apparently do.
Its a good point though, you have paid for v10 and its only right that should be supported for a while further 'after' the release of v11. I agree. Think of Windows.. was Vista support and service packs dropped as soon as Win7 came out? - no.

PS:
I had a similar encounter with "Production Assistant v1" from Vaast. I had just bought the product about 1 month earlier. Then Vegas 10 just came out. I upgraded to v10 and guess what, PA stopped working! It would not install.
After contacting Vaast, i was informed version 1 would only install on Vegas 9 and not 10. So you had to either install v9 just so you could use it with v10, or buy PA v 2!. Soooo, me being me, i reversed engineered the registry entry and simply wrote another one which DID allow install into v10 (its posted in a thread on the forum somewhere and works perfectly). Now in my case, i figured a way around it. But I felt i should not have to upgrade to PA v 2 just to install into Vegas 10, i had only just paid PAv1 !!
Its a situation you see from other vendors too. A trend i personally do not like.

Paul.

Exactly Paul. Well said!

I have a new Lenovo B520 with an i7 3.4 processor, 16GB of RAM, and an nVidia GT555M GPU. It is an "all-in-one" computer where everything is built into the monitor.

While I like it very much, what is incredibly frustrating is that the graphics card will only accept Lenovo released drivers and they are out of date. When I try to install the direct nVidia drivers I get a "no compatible hardware" message and the install quits. I will start complaining to Lenovo loudly, but I have no high expectations that this will accomplish much.

I bought a car the year before they invented air bags. I can still drive the car. Is the manufacturer obligated to install air bags in my car?

Perhaps they will make a kit I can purchase to install air bags in my car. But since the structure of the dashboard and steering wheel change, it would be a very expensive kit. It would likely be less expensive to purchase a new car.

Now, if my car stopped working when the new airbag cars came out, I would be upset.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Laurance, they have the exact driver listed on their site:

Have you tried this one yet? Its not the latest beta but it is 285.62.

Paul.

dydy, i see your point but thats a new feature not a support update. Now if you said something like, my left hand side headlamp never worked from day one - yes you would be upset and would expect a fix (update) even after they released a new model of car with air bags. And you could still drive the car but would either get pulled by cops or have an accident.
Anyway, this is getting a bit OT guys. The thread is about the new release right? :)

update: no crashing as yet after about 4 rendered test projects.
Thoughts anyone.

Paul.

"I bought a car the year before they invented air bags. I can still drive the car. Is the manufacturer obligated to install air bags in my car?"

This is not close to being analogous to the situation I'm describing. We are not talking about a new invention (feature) in V11 over what was in V10. What is analogous is us talking about a major malfunction in our recently purchased 2010 model and the manufacturer should step up and fix this safety hazard. It is literally unsafe to edit any project (especially a major one) in V10 because of this nasty bug of replacing the video on the timeline.

>Laurance, they have the exact driver listed on their site:

Yes I tried that exact one.

The Lenovo B520 has models with both 2D and 3D screens. I have a 2D model, but it may well use a slightly different driver in order to support the 3D screen on the 3D versions.

Bummer...

Go shout at Lenovo. You need to update and they need to help you.

Paul.
