The little bit I have played with it, the processor no longer runs at 100% during render, 50 % on both one is high and one is low. Put about 1.5 hour file on the timeline with another 3.8 hour file and it started to choke up on the memory. Using default settings on render with 4 gig ram, AMD 4600 DUAL CORE. I'm happy with it so far but haven't tried any HDV yet. I do not use media manager.

The processor runs at 51% on the hard stuff and 100 % on the easy stuff.

I installed it and am happy, although I haven't used it too much (still use Vegas 5.0d for most things, since I don't use HDV). I mostly use Vegas 6 at the end of the project to render, both because of the slightly faster render engine and because of the nested VEG capability (I can put all my projects together and render as a single MPEG-2 for DVD output).

A big YES if you do photo montages with lots of photos. The render bug has been squished. I use 6.0c all the time and it’s been very stable. I say go for it.

I have been using V6.0c since it's release and find it close to as stable as V5....
yes!

Tranferred my first .vob file to timeline today...it gave me chills. Install. Thanks Sony!

Just being able to rip a dvd is worth it. I really hope Sony comes out with some sort of an advanced effects editing feature soon. That would be great!!!!

it's the little things that i enjoy, like how your event snaps now when you reach both the end and the beginning... ahhh.

although it was weird when i opened another instance of vegas, it didn't keep my workspace presets, but that was minor.

Export to PSP means I can skip an intermediate render to avi (huge time saver) before converting to PSP video format. The little features make it a great update.

...now if only PSP could come with a hard drive instead of these bl**dy mem. cards... and balanced audio... and built-in espresso machine ... : D

I'm really happy with it now doing one hdv project 1.0 hrs and one standard project 1.5 hrs. I bang on these projects all day long and the only problems experienced were hitting the wrong keys or the wrong envelope. Do not use media manager or .net 2.0.

In an attempt to sell upgrades, ALL software companies make the answer to your question, for clients who use the software to the full to be "YES".

If you don't use all new features and the new HD capabilities and can live with a few bugs then maybe you wait to upgrade until you needs change.

There is a confirmed bug that nested Veg files import at the (very) wrong duration if you have markers on the timeline.

If you need nested timelines *and* the use of markers, don't update. Otherwise, do. Version 6.0c certainly seems to have eliminated more issues than it introduced.

Avoid if you render to MPEG, processor usage dropped from 100% to 50-60 and it's very slow.

Thanks for the comment on Photo Montages. I have a number to do in the next couple of weeks and that should be quite helpful.

Thanks again
