Sound Forge 6.0/MPEG1, MPEG2 -Sound Forge - PC - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:Sound Forge 6.0/MPEG1, MPEG2 Posted by: RockCreek Date:5/13/2002 11:52:51 AM The upgrade information accompanying Sound Forge v6.0 makes several references to a "MainConcept MPEG 1+2 plug-in" that is required to work with MPEG files, but provides no additional information about the plug-in. As I do need to work with MPEG files, information about this plug-in is critical. I did visit the MainConcept web page (www.mainconcept.com) but it does not provide specific information about any particular plug-in that will work with Sound Forge v6.0. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Subject:RE: Sound Forge 6.0/MPEG1, MPEG2 Reply by: RockCreek Date:5/13/2002 1:59:04 PM Thanks ... I was prompted to purchase the plug-in, but now my dilemma is whether or not to purchase the standard or professional version. I'm not really interested in tasking Sound Forge with compressing my MPEG files, but I am interested in having a full range of controls over the audio portion of my files. Any guidance regarding whether or not the standard version is appropriate would be appreciated.

Subject:RE: Sound Forge 6.0/MPEG1, MPEG2 Reply by: SonySCS Date:5/14/2002 10:49:17 AM I don't know enough about MPEG and your needs, but I can say that if you purchase Standard, you can later upgrade to Professional. The cost is the same as if you'd purchased Professional. Standard 29.95, Upgrade 70.00, Professional 99.95. Maybe this helps, Suzan SOnic Foundry
