Vegas Support for Vista

This might belong in the Vista forum, but there aren't many folks there, so response seems to be limited.

I have had trouble getting VMS+DVDA to work with Vista. Silly me...I should have done better research before upgrading to Vista. I finally changed the compatibility feature to run as Windows XP software. I got all through the creation/rendering/burning DVD process, but the DVD had massive video problems and wasn't useful.

I have learned the hard way that Sony won't support VMS on Vista and will be coming out with a major upgrade "sometime" this year. This is the information I got when asking for support. So, I have a great program that I can't use, and will have to buy another version. In the meantime, my video projects will either have to wait, or I'll have to find another program to get them done. Frustrating!

If you got all the way thru the burning process then it seems to me like you've made it past most of the reported problems with Vista.

It might help if you were more specific about what you mean by "massive video problems" - it might not be an issue with VMS and Vista but something else.

When I replay the dvd, the playback doesn't show images. Rather there are lines through the images. I'm not sure how to explain it exactly. It's as if the video is in the background and is playing behind blinds. I'm playing it in Windows Media Player. Does this make any sense?

What happens if you use a set-top DVD player?

Good question. I haven't tried that yet. I also thought I might try a different computer as well. Certainly can't hurt.
