Raylight Popularity

[strangways]

I'm toiling away with a DVX100A, while dreaming of an HPX170. When I purchase one, I'll also being purchasing Raylight, so I can edit on Vegas.

I recently got some HVX200 footage from a friend, and wanted to download the Raylight demo to try it out. A Google search for DVfilm Raylight listed the company's site as the first two hits.

But most of the hits were for pirated versions!

I certainly don't condone using pirated software, and for all I know it may be full of viruses and trojan horses, or simply be links to infected websites. it does, however, tell me one thing:

Raylight is popular enough to have someone pirate it, or advertise that they pirated it to sucker people into infecting their computers. It looks like cutting DVCProHD on Vegas is starting to appeal to the masses, for better and for worse.

It's so good, you don't even know it's there. New version with MetaData support supposed to be coming out soon.

For anyone like me that has an HDV camera as well, don't forget the great little program included with Raylight that converts interlaced 180i to progressive. Great for matching clips into the Vegas timeline so you can do an all progressive edit. Oh yeah, called DVFilmaker. Also does a range of interlaced HD/SD codecs to progressive.

Sorry to hear about people pirating the software. May they walk the plank to their doom:zombie_smiley:

With all of the hard work that DVfilm has done to constantly improve Raylight, I hope people will realize how important it is to purchase the software, to give them the funds for future development, and essentially cast a vote to say that Raylight is important to their workflow, appreciated, and worthy of the continued effort.
