This software is stable and is easy to use. It has timeline view only, but it works great. It is missing Dolby AC-3 encoder, so you can only output audio in WAV/MP2. Sony should've at least included a 2ch AC-3 encoder. For NTSC, AC-3 is standard. MP2 is for PAL format, although it does work with most NTSC DVD players too. Sony needs to seriously consider adding AC-3 support to both Vegas Movie Studio and the included DVD Architect Lite.
I started using this software extensively, but have switched to various other tools that are specialized and give better results.
1) Vegas Movie Studio - I only use it and Sony Audio Studio, to monitor audio, and examine initial audio levels of test captures for clipping.
2) WinDV - Because of the buffer, I use this for perfect captures with no dropped frames.
3) TMPGenc 3.0 - I use this to encode, because of the Dolby AC-3 plugin support.
4) TMPGenc DVD Author & DVD Lab - I use these to author DVD because of Dolby AC-3 and the features. |
