Voukoder render dialog not showing

Photo_G wrote on 9/9/2021, 5:17 PM

I recently downloaded the Voukoder (v9.3) app and the VEGAS Pro 18-19 connector (v0.9.11). When I used it to render on Vegas Pro v19.0 build 341 initially, it popped up a dialog (alongside the VP render dialog) which showed details of the render process.

For some reason though, that dialog doesn't appear when I use it today. The VP render dialog is there, but it doesn't show everything, e.g., FPS, MB rendered, etc., which I noticed seemed normal when I was comparing it to the Voukoder render dialog when it was working.

I have uninstalled the app and connector, rebooted and reinstalled them twice now, but no change - and the files appear to be in the right place (i.e., C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 19.0\Voukoder-x64.fio2007-config and C:\Program Files\Voukoder\voukoder.dll).

Has anyone seen this before? Here are my system specs for reference:

I use Voukoder a lot and afaik there is no additional render dialog provided by Voukoder.

What you may have been seeing could be something like the one provided by (see screenshot) SeMW Extensions (which has just been updated for V19 btw):

Thanks! I had removed the SeMW extensions while cleaning up my drive, and it appears that I was confused. After reinstalling it, the dialog is back. I REALLY appreciate the help with this!!
