Hello everyone. Been a couple years since I was a regular here. (Just extremely busy doing non-video work, otherwise no excuse.) Anyway, this bug is only going to infect a few of us special cases who are working with very old versions of Vegas, but its painful nonetheless.
Vegas used to do its "save as" by storing the audio and video files separately. The latest version (and perhaps several before; I wouldn't know) stores a single file as interleaved.
If you download the Vegas Pro 8 demo, but your current Vegas version does things the old way, your current version will be corrupted: The first file will separate and store the audio and video correctly, but every other audio file will include the video and every other video file will include the audio.
So far, I have uninstalled the Vegas Pro 8 demo, uninstalled and reinstalled my current version of Vegas, and removed every reference to Vegas 8 in the registry (poor uninstall; lots of registry poopies left lying around) without success. Next step is remove all registry references to the old and the new versions, but I am worried that Vegas 8 installed something into the System folder.
I tried to search the forum, but "save as" had no hits and I couldn't think of other searches. So sorry if this is well know.
(Incidentally, I have a new ipod, so I wanted to check out the ipod rendering capabilities. Should have just searched the forum instead, :-()
