Everytime lightworks is mentioned I see Craig trying to tell us why we are wrong not to use it :) I just read some responses on the lightworks forum and the comment "You will never win the argument with that type of person." gave me a uncomfortable feeling I get on other fan based fora. Not sure if it was ok for Ron that you placed his comments there and I don't understand why you should unless you are really trying to prove him wrong with the help of other lightwork users. I also think we are going off topic too much as it is about the advantages of converting into intermediate codecs.

Craig, I have to agree with Noa. What are you trying to achieve with bringing up Lighworks all the time. In my comparison to cars its like asking someone who has several modern cars with air conditioning, heaters, electric windows etc etc to please look at a car with manual windows, no heater or air conditioning and convince them it is reliable though. Lightworks may well work very well as a simple editor but it doesn't cut it against the competition yet. It doesn't do anything more as an editor either than any of the others.The only way to compete with the competition is by price and in this regard its a winner accept it doesn't do what I want and there are lots of programs at $60 that I also do not want. Price is the thing that their marketing has got correct. To me they are trying to breath life into an old program I wish them luck.

new version!

Hey Marlon, I tried the newer version and it works ok but I still get that popup message that it can't find drives, not that it is annoying, I just have to press ok until it finds the card in my reader and from there all seems to work like it should. I thought I"d mention it.

you uninstalled the previous version as mentioned before installing the new one?

the code is different, should not have that anymore...

"new version" will be out soon.

-removed encoding functions to a separated program
-added free space verification before file copy
-added size verification, to make sure everything is copied (compare file sizes in card/hard drive to make sure they match)
-added log function (show on the end of copy) for debug/error reporting

todo:
checksum verification option for integrity check
