Also, I heard if you if you hold the SHIFT key, and then go to the menu item OPTIONS>PREFERENCES>INTERNAL TAB, while having your tongue firmly pressed against your video monitor and then set the interal preference of "Revert Back to Vegas 5" set to TRUE, then most of these problems are cleared up.
New Features:
1. Comprehensive HDV support optimized for the new Sony HVR-Z1U and HDR-FX1 cameras and the HVR-M1OU HDV VTR deck
-Previous Cineform is better
