Has anyone upgraded from DVFilm Raylight to Raylight ULTRA? I have to update my DVfilm Raylight and was wondering if I should go ahead and pay the extra to up grade it to Raylight Ultra? I''m using Vegas Pro 8.0a (shooting on the HVX200A - P2 card)

Thanks
 
There's a bit of a performance improvement, and it's easier to get to channels 3 and 4 of the audio, no question.

I didn't think the metadata slates were all that.
 
I did, but had to go back to regular Raylight. Ultra gave me problems, crashing Vegas whenever I handled MXF files captured in 1080 and 60fps (for slo mo work). I even got bluescreened, and I have a dual quad core system. Their support told me there must be a problem with my "environment." Now I can't even use Vegas 9 to finish my film.
 
I ended upgrading but then had to go back to the original Raylight. My Sony laptop 32 wouldn't work with Ultra and it seems that my HP 64 was having sound issues - mouth not matching the audio and little jerky in the visual So I had to go back to the original. I guess you can say I just spent $50 for something I can't use.
 
I just wish they would release Ultra with AVC-Intra support which is why I upgraded in the first place.

UPDATE: Got an email from DVFILM saying AVC-Intra support was about 8 weeks away...
