OT: What's your default video player & why?
If I remember correctly I tried MPC-HC and found that it wouldn't play some of my files, notably flash. According to this thread the latest version , located at: C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming\MPC-BE\Shaders But that might be some kind of add-on - I've never tried using shaders.

OT: What's your default video player & why?
I don't like VLC - I find the interface cumbersome and annoying. I much prefer MPC-BE a version of Media Player Classic. I use it on both Windows 7 and 8. It runs without the need to install anything. I've never liked Windows Media Player and it's always one of the first things I look to remove.

Thank you both for the replies. I'll leave them as they are.

OT Web Video
You can use javascript on the webpage to pause the player at the end of the video. This certainly works for JWplayer: <script type="text/javascript"> jwplayer('ObjectName').onTime(function(object) { if(object.position > object.duration - 1) {this.pause(); } }); </script>

OT: Windows 10 upgrade: free for Win 7 & 8.1 users
I read reports that because of the numbering it would break a lot of third party programs but I think it is because Microsoft want to sell the idea of a clean sweep. I also read from 10 onwards they will have incremental changes effectively making it the last version. I think they are heading towards a cloud/subscription based model.

OT: Windows 10 upgrade: free for Win 7 & 8.1 users
I'm not so bothered about the start button because I use keyboard shortcuts to start most applications. But, I wonder about the search in 8.1 compared to 8 - looked worse. Also the need to change settings to avoid data being sent to Microsoft and the further push towards the cloud put me off.

OT: Windows 10 upgrade: free for Win 7 & 8.1 users
I'm curious, what do you like better in 8.1 than 8 and why move from 7? I have 8 on a hybrid machine but honestly without Classic Shell to fix File Explorer it would be unusable. I especially dislike the wordy file copying that comes with 8. Unfortunately Classic Shell doesn't fix it. It does with 7. What is faster about 8/8.1? Thanks.

Well I always hope to be pleasantly surprised but after 8.1 have my doubts. I don't like the general push toward the cloud. Anyway, more info from the BBC.

But not Windows 8? I avoided 8.1 because I didn't like the changes regarding privacy. My guess is that Windows 10 will be even worse. By service Microsoft probably means a method to sell users to advertisers.

Backup Software Recommendations
Apples and oranges. For files and folders I use FreeFileSync. I use Macrium reflect for making images of entire partitions and it is very good at it. It's easy to mount an image and pull out individual files using Windows Search should the be required but I use it for backing up my system so usually do a full system restore. Acronis went downhill when they started offering features to back up files and folders. Two different jobs in my opinion.

Backup Software Recommendations
I use Macrium free version. I backup my system almost every night and restore once or twice a month. It works very well for me. I've used Acronis and much prefer Macrium.

Titles - fade out parts keep the rest
I worked out one method. Make a copy of the media and then in Pro Titler set the opacity of the text to fade out to 0 leaving just the desired text. Then in Vegas transition one to the other. Any better ways?

OT: 8TB archive hard drive for only $260
I've had bad experiences with Seagate so much as I would like an 8GB drive I think I will wait until Hitachi bring one out.

Render names lower case extensions?
Thanks for the reply, John. Other programs on this PC use lowercase - I can't figure out why Vegas is stuck in uppercase but it's annoying.

NewBlue Titler 3 Build 141009 working for anyone?
Thanks, that is what I tried to set up but I found when I played the result it looped before the transition and I gave up. I ended up using a Hit Film bulge effect instead. I must have done something wrong. I did have a look at the help but it read more like a commercial than help and there was no search available.

Vid Playback Flickers, but not in Vegas
I don't quite follow, are you saying that it plays OK on other computers but not one - that suggests some settings on that one computer are different from the others. Are the versions of the players the same on all computers? Apologies if I've missed the point.

NewBlue Titler 3 Build 141009 working for anyone?
Thanks, that's a big help. Yes. I called it an effect when it is a transition. I tried doing something similar to to what you described but found that the first event looped and never got to the second event.

Ultimate S4 and SVP 13 B 428
I'm using Ultimate S4 with build 428. The only niggle I've found is that it keeps opening in docking mode when I want it to float but otherwise works as expected. Wish I could say the same for NewBlue Titler 3.

Sleep tight! As I mentioned in my initial post that is what I did the second time - and it didn't work.

V13 build 428 Help lock-up remains.
I've installed Vegas 13 twice. Could try first uninstalling Vegas 12 first, I suppose. Installing a virgin Windows 7 just to reinstall Vegas is not really an option.

Don't worry - I'll be gone soon. Currently I only make videos once a year. But why can't I bring the track back in?

Less by my count - but more than one does indicate a problem.
