Vegas Video vs. Vegas Audio

Parker9 wrote on 8/7/2000, 11:29 PM

If I am reading the specs correctly, the fundamental
difference between Vegas Video and Vegas Audio (other than
the price) is enhanced video capabilities in the former. I
am not seeing more audio features in Vegas Audio. Is this
what others are reading?

Also, if this is the case, does anyone know if there
will be more CPU overhead necessary to accomodate the video
capabilites of Vegas Video even if only the audio portion
is being utilized? (The result being less available
horsepower for audio-only processing.)

Any thought?

I had this same conversation with Peter{tech} before I purchased
vegas Video.If you are not using the vid features ,shutdown all video
windows in the view menu and you are at ground zero like Vegas
audio/pro.Same thing.No diff.Cpu usage the same.
I just figured we would like the option of having the video features
for possible future use.We really only use the audio functions.
