Vegas Pro 9.0d - timeline playback experiences

Hi,

Sorry but I had to start this thread to keep things concenctrated. Please responce here ONLY your timeline playback experiences in 9.0d - versus your earlier version of 9.0 x

I have lost my realtime playback of two simultaneous AVCHD (PAL) streams in 9.0d. In 9.0c I was able to run a long crossfade between two AVCHD tracks at best preview resolution - in real time. My quad core never choked and CPU usage went at max to 80% during the crossfades.

Now, in 9.0d, the playback drops to about 11..15 frames/ - even if I set the preview to adjust for best perfromance. All 4 cores goes up to 100%...

What is wrong here? I am very, very disappointed. Please tell me that something is wrong with the installation.

Should I try to make a complete FRESH installation, removing anything that has to do with SCS? Would that help me? The Sony installer still complains that the installation wizard has ended prematurely! It say "your system has not been modified bla bla bla", even though the upgrade has installed itself. This has been the case with all 9.0x upgrades. What is wrong here? Anyone else seeing this problem?

Any other similar experiences? Please stick to the subject ot keep the thread clean...

Hi Christian,
did you try the 32 bit or the 64 bit version of Vegas 9d?

> What is wrong here? I am very, very disappointed
I tried the same as you, I have a quad core and live in PAL land.
I tried a log AVCHD crossfade in Vegas 9c 32 bit, then the same in Vegas 9d 64 bit. Saw no change at all.
Media stored on external USB 2 drive. Real time playback all right, c version and d version.

I have had very much extra work because of install issues with Sony Creative. I love the applications, but they stand out as extremely picky about registry access rights or whatever. Yes - I have seen this a lot of times.
I tried it all, doing a clean uninstall / install as SCS suggests.
Finally - I changed my own personal habits using my Computer.
First I foirmated my harddrive and reinstalled Windows (Vista)
Installed all possible Vista service packs (now Vista is just fine)
Then I alwasy use the windows control panel when uninstalling any Software. I do use an additional uninstaller, to clean up everything, but before that I use the built in MS uninstaller.
After this I have had no problems with SCS whatsoever regarding install issues. I have CD Architect, DVD Architect, several flavours of Vegas, and Sony Sound Forge.

I'm on 9d (32) and I'm finding quite the opposite with avchd (ntsc @ 17Mb/s). In 9c (in preview mode) I would get full frame rate until hitting a crossfade then I would drop to... well... I never could really figure it out because it would skip and jump through the whole cross fade. It was bad enough so that I would have to use dynamic playback in order to view it.

In 9d it's actually playable (and comfortably viewable) right through the entire cross fade. Framerate drops to about 21 or 22 at worst, but goes back to full as soon as it comes out of the fade.
