Pirated Vegas CD??

When i was walking on a shop hall yesterday. I saw one vendor selling probably pirated CDs. I saw a lot of video editing softwares but i dont find one for vegas. I am afraid that one day i will see vegas selling like hotcakes on the streets for as cheap as US$5. For me, Vegas is the best video editing software in land and I don't want it to happen.

Is there anything that SOFO can avoid this thing to happen?

rllagas,

Well currently im using the booklet and the manual (pdf) that came with the Academic package, i have to admit that i like the manual alot better then the booklet. The booklet seems to be very basic of course its not bad but im looking for something better.

I have been surfing and reading many of the Vegas sites and looking at other peopels work at vegasusers.com lots of great videos, indeed.

Of course when i get the new HD i will explore more stuff and all the features in Vegas, at the moment i just play around just to see what is out there. As i stated in the Review of the new book to Mr Douglas (Spotted Eagle) i think that Vegas is the best video editing software and its NOT an entry level (in the terms that entry level is a basic program ala Video Factory).

Oh man i cant wait to be more serious about all this, and just bring the video camera everywhere, lol :)

May i ask where you stay in Singapore?
I stay in Tampinese, hopefully we gonna move soon, to our own place ;)

rllagas,

May i ask what kind of camera you have (brand and model) and how much you paid for it? I assume you bought it at Sim Lim (hehe).

I got a JVC 320A, i paid $880 pluss so accessories, so it all came up to &1100, i dont think thats too bad, im very saticfied with the camera and easy to use :)
