I just upgraded from vv3 to vv4 and my mpeg1 and 2 custom settings can not be accessed. If i dump "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Sonic Foundry\MC MPEG Plug-In" key from my registry it works until i rerun vv4, than the custom button is usless once again for the mpeg1 and 2 file formats.........can anyone help me??????
No, I believe you don't need DVD Architect for ac3 and mpeg2 compatibility: there was no ac3 and mpeg2 options in the beta releases due to licensing issues. Both should be avaliable on the purchased versions.
I posted in that other thread where I'd look, though that doesn't mean it'd pan out of course - that I would start at the right place etc... If the reg settings help once, then I'd think it a registry problem but could obviously be wrong.
What I would suggest is everyone haveing the problem list their specs etc. so maybe a pattern could be discerned that SOFO could use to diagnose & fix the prob.
- If you already have MPEG from VV3, you should be able to use it in Vegas 4 without any further registration, etc.
- If you don't already have MPEG, clicking Custom in Vegas 4 should take you to the registration dialog for MPEG. Alternatively, attempting to open an MPEG file or rendering to MPEG should show the MPEG registration dialog.
- DVD Architect does include MPEG and AC-3, but you'll need to register DVDA first before these will be available for use in Vegas 4.
- If you purchased Vegas 4 only (not Vegas+DVDA), then AC-3 is a separate purchase option. If you try to render to AC-3, you should be prompted to purchase it.
We will investigate your MPEG problems as it sounds like things are not working properly. Any details you can provide: Windows version, whether you're running a localized Windows (non-English version), service packs you've installed, etc. can help us diagnose and correct this issue.
