Does anyone else find it ridiculous that you have to pay extra to do things like import an mpeg file? I mean, that'd be like Adobe charging you extra if you want to open a JPEG file in photoshop... I just don't get it.
 
Re: Plugin Registration

Maybe he is referring to the requirement to register codecs when you first purchase an NLE program? I think I had to do that before I could do any rendering with Vegas (or was it Pinnacle, I can't remember). Either way, I did not have to pay anything additional.
 
Re: Plugin Registration

When I try to import an mpeg file it says the plug in is not registered. I guess I just assumed you had to pay for it cause I had to pay for the "plug in" to import mp3 files into sonic foundry, which is retarded given how common mp3 files are.
 
Re: Plugin Registration

You shouldn't have a problem bringing an MPEG into your timeline. What's the extension on the file?
 
Re: Plugin Registration

Did you buy vegas+DVD or just vegas. If you buy vegas+DVD the mpeg/ac3 encoder is free.
 
Re: Plugin Registration

You have to register the Mpeg codecs because Sony has to pay a royalty to Main Concept. Rather than base that on the copies of Vegas sold, they would rather pay the royalty only for users who actually use them.
