I would report it using Technical Support, under the Support menu at the top of the forum page.

Ditto! Worked for me!!

"where can we find a list of reported ones so i don't waste my time, or sony's reporting already known problems?"

As far as I know there isn't one and as you've noted it would save a lot of time and frustration on both sides.

I think it's important for everyone having any particular issue to report it. Depending on how many people report a problem would allow Sony to prioritize the importance of fixing certain things. Plus there could be subtle differences in each error report that could help them track down more ellusive bugs.

For example, there is a annoyance that some people are having when they close Vegas Pro 8 that says a certain memory address couldn't be read, but the few of us that have reported it have had slightly different memory addresses and those differences could provide a clue as to what's happening.

I know that Vegas crashing on various scene split clips in HDV has been reported and I know that Vegas capture scene splitting a few frames early/late has been reported.

I reported these things, and sony has acknowledged that problems exist and should be cleaned up on the next patch.

b3t,

it's a pity then that sony doesn't have a 'bug' page that lists those they have acknowledged. this would mean i don't have to spend time discovering that 'my' problem IS a bug after all, and i could simply look to see if my problem was listed, and if not, a simple way to notify sony of a problem....

If Sony's beta testing programs are anything like the ones I have been involved with, any list that exists is available only to beta testers and program developers.

And if Sony is like the company I have tested for, it's the bugs that affect the masses, not the few that get fixed; minor bugs are left version after version after version.

I'd like to think that Sony is better than that.

I thought we were the BETA testers for Sony!

would appear so - especially in pal land.

it's all well and good releasing software, but at least it should, as a minimum, do what it says on the box. more 'complex' issues might arise, but if sony states 'no-norecompress' as a 'main' selling point, one would expect it to work in practice?

I just got off the phone with them explaining my problem. I am finding that when rendering and the memory is around 80% usage, I can pretty much be asured the render/program will crash. almost always at the same spot... When I cut the project in half, save each half under a different name, I can render each project just fine, tells me media is not really the problem.
I have spent some significan time testing my box, ran memtest 86+ for 20 hours, no problems, ran Prime95 for 18 hours, no failures, but I run Vegas, and It goes down within minutes. The biggest problem I have is that according to Sony I am the only one with this problem, they have not heard of it...... what I am to do??

Like I always say you do not have enough ram. Throw in 4 gig and your problems will be over. Set the ram preview to somewhere between 16 and 158 megs. Remove any anti-virus. Disable all the Microsoft XP visual baloney, remove the hard drive indexing, turn off system restore on all drives.

JJKizak, if you were replying to me.... I have 4 Gigs, running Q6600 with Vista, raptor 10,000RPM drive for OS 500gig for Video.
It is not a lack of memory

Wow! Something ain't right. I have an AMD 4600 X2 with 4 gigs. I started out with 2 gigs and had the same problems you have. Changed to 4 gigs Kingston and no more problems. This is with Vegas 7.0e and presently V8 with XP Pro. Vista might be the difference. I plan to get either the Q6600 or Q6700 to run Vista 64 bit. I don't have any "OS headaches" at the present time so I figure to get Vista to correct this intolerable, dull, boring XP RPO OS.
