yes I have seen it and the feature set is grand. I will not move away from DVD ARCH and Veags. I have been using Vegas too long to change my workflow. The way I see it is that the Workshop upgrade will push the limits of what Sony/SoFo will be doing on ARCH 2.
Ya, I did play with the demo a bit and honnestly first impressions are:
easy workflow
nice new features
I dont like the Ulead MPEG.Now encoder
Very nice overlays,buttons,GIF clips
easy button linking
PLAY ALL feature (can be better but at least works)
I'm not sure if the ISO creation it's based on mkisoft
DVDLab also makes very good package now with the integration of
TMPGEnc DVD source creator.
Looks like SoFo/"Sony" is waiting to see what the others will offer with their
updates and after "blow" them away with DVD-A 2.?
Like you said let's just wait & see.
