OT: Izotope Alloy
It's very different than Ozone. Ozone is for mastering - it's more of a "use once on the end of the signal chain" - it's high quality, but resource intensive relatve to things - lots of CPU processing, and thus latency etc. It's awesome, but you don't want to use lots and lots of them on a multitrack recording.. Alloy is designed for using on channel strips - the idea is you use it on all the tracks of the multitrack, except your master buss - that's where Ozone comes into play. Alloy is therefore designed to be friendlier on the CPU, has zero latency, is a little more lightweight and designed to be used on lots of channels. It's also VST2 and VST3 (for those that are interested), and as all things iZo these days - native 32 and 64bit flavours. The macro section makes it really useful to adjust several parameters within one screen, without flitting between each module.

ProDad Mercalli No Longer Works
THey (pro-dad) released an update shortly after v9 came out, adding v9 compatibility - you just need to run their update.

Certifications?
It stays with you - no "resit" required for new versions. Afterall, the knowledge required to gain them is core to all versions - and equally valid in v7 / 8 / 9 etc

Bob - give me a clip and I'll show you the results if you want - it's WAY better than SF9

.NET Folders Show Up on New 1.5 TB Backup HD?
They're just temp folders for the updates. Once the updates are applied, you should be able to safely delete them.

Use Laptop as second monitor
Yes you can. There are 3rd party software tools that will let you accomplish this. http://www.maxivista.com/ for example (never used it. just aware of it)

TImeline question
You could zoom in, and split the clip after the first frame, and resize to 1 sec, and then adjust the velocity envelope to 0. And ditto with last frame.

OT: Generic icons in Vista64
With regards to making settings stick - try running an instance of explorer as administrator. It will allow some more settings to stay as you set them. There are some issues some settings still not being remembered though - but this did help me a lot with a few. It's UAC being a pig (I keep it on, as despite it's aggrevation, I'd rather be safer than sorry).

OT: Izotope Plug Ins
Ozone 4 is awesome. There's some really useful additions in there - especially on the levels aspect. THere's K-Metering for those who want it now. I really like the new interface, and the new intelligent2 stuff is so clear I love it. (and RX is awesome too ) It's so great having a company that provides native 64 bit plugs. Just waiting for Vegas to actually handle 64bit audio plugs.

Do SCS use their databases?
But what if you wanted / needed more than 1 license - surely an offer like this is appreciated even when we do already own the product?

Upgrade to Vista
The upgrade won't format your drive, but it will "park" your windows into a backup location, and tryi and migrate your stuff over for you. I've not had any bad experiences this way - out of the few machines I've upgraded for people. It's pretty self-guiding on the process - just reserve a few hours since it can take a while

CPU core monitoring application
There are many similar tools. FOr vista, there is a sidebar monitor for quadcore. Nvidia's system tools have quite a set of utils too

OT: Good UPC/EAN Barcode retailer?
That last paragraph is very disconcerting. No-one should be recycling codes like that - otherwise you can have mutliple products for a "UNIQUE product code"

What sort of scale are you thinking? - 1/few - lots of products?

Watermarks
The text has 2 properties - one is a font color, the other is a background color - and you can select the background to a transparent state by using the little slider next to it. Then you can use the gain/opacity to make it as visible/invisible as you like without any worry of the background causing any murkiness. Otherwise, if you make an image elsewhere, you can either create one that support alpha, or use chroma-keying to mask out a background color. But the text option is the simplest. If that doesn't make sense - let us know, and one of us will explain it further Hope it helps

SCS products and my 64 bit concerns.
If it helps - in Vista 64 I run: SF8, SF9, V7, V8, V8.1, CDA, A7, Cinescore Obviously not EVERYTHING works in 64bit under WoW - but pretty much everything I've thrown at it has worked excellently.

HP Laptop/Presonus FirestudioProject/Vegas Snag
I'm sorry to say, but I would point at the Firestudio. I've had bad experience with that model, where it could not handle switching between sample rates correctly - and similar issues to you. Replaced with a different audio unit, and problems went away. Their support was terrible too. But naturally I could be wrong :)

DVD Architecton 8/25/2008
DVD does not allow advance of position
Perhaps seemingly odd - try Media Player Classic and see if you still have the same problem. I had a machine which had media player 11, and it got itself "confused" over time, and stopped allowing skipping as you describe for certain media formats. (including plain old audio wav or mp3 (I forget which) ) It could just be media player that's the problem, but it could also be as described above...

Vegas 8 Pro using 40% or less of QUAD processors?
There is definitely a point about what the format/codec can handle in terms of simultaneous threads/processes that will have a factor in CPU% usage

OT: Is the tide of 64-bit coming in
"I can't imagine the average consumer at this point having anything (much) that works with 64 bit now." Most stuff works under WoW (windows on windows). You just use your programs as normal, and they run as 32bit programs. Added benefit is that each program can have 4GB just to itself. More programs are beginning to appear as 64bit native. Which is about time too. It has it's benefits, outside of the video world too.

HDV users: please read
The newer dll has been brilliant for me - allowing me to finally opoen up content that I could not import before, and I have not had a single crash or error from it so far.
