Hello Vegas Pro community,
I just wanted to make people aware (as it took me a long time to work out and find information) that Sony Vegas Pro and Sony ACID Pro is not properly compatible with Windows 8 Storage Spaces (or Storage Pools).
It works fine with compressed formats sitting on a storage pool but it is simply unusable when it comes to wav files. There is some issue with the way it reads data off the disks.
Of course it works perfectly from a standard single HDD formatted with an NTFS volume. My Storage Pool does display as an NTFS HDD but any wav files read off the Storage Pool chirp and stutter and have bursts of very loud static. The waveforms also do not generate correctly and do not correlate with both the file itself OR the sound that is output when they are played from a track.
I have tried many solutions myself and worked with support from Sony and in the end the final situation is that this software is not compatible with anything other than more standard NTFS volumes. I want to make this information more public as I have been burnt by this because my new build relies heavily in Storage Pools (which I find otherwise absolutely brilliant) and that is where my project files were usually stored.
TL;DR: Vegas and ACID users: don't use Windows 8 Storage Pools.
Regards,
Volumetric
