Hey guys,
I went to BH today to see the V8 upgrade for $99 and could not find it. Could this have been a promo? Also, they sell V6 cd for $79 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...o_Editing.html . What is going on? Al |

Vegas 8 Pro upgrade from 6 or 7 for $99 is here @ B&H Photo:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Vegas_Pro.html It's actually in their consumer video editing section. I found it with a search on their site for "Vegas 8 Pro upgrade." |

Be advised that B&H forgot to tell you that you must have either Vegas 6 or 7 on your machine for this to work.
The Upgrade to Vegas 8 Pro thread on the Sony Vegas forum spells this out quite clearly. Look for the reply from user Mountain Ghost for the details. |

Did you try DVD Architect? Did it come on the Vegas 6 disk? If not, did the upgrade create the latest version (4.5)? I am thinking about doing the same thing. Chris Barnes |

I personally know of two others that went this route... Vegas 6 to Pro 8 upgrade. DVDA Pro 4.5 is bundled with no further strings attached in the Pro 8 upgrade disc, in spite of the V6 disc not having any DVDA. If you qualify for the V8 Pro installation, you'll get access to DVDA Pro 4.5 as well :-)

Not exactly on topic, but FYI when I was looking into After Effects I found an older version online (I think at Amazon) for not much and all the upgrades have been free of problems and 100% OK for activation. If you search around you can often find older versions of most popular software that can be upgraded. Your mileage may vary, caveat emptor, etc, but I saved a bundle this way. Haven't checked to see if older versions of Vegas are still available, but it's possible.

Price too good?
Hi,
I just bought the $99 upgrade to Vegas 8 and was hugely impressed with the service from B&H. I placed the order on Friday morning and the package reached me in the UK on Monday morning - not bad when you think it had to be parcelled, sent to the airport, put on a plane, flown over the Atlantic etc., etc. Just a word of warning. The postage was $35.55 on top of which I had to pay a handling charge, import duty and VAT amounting to £24.88 (approx. $50). Puts the price up a bit (to something like $185) but it's still a very good bargain as the DVDA upgrade is included as well. First impressions? Very favourable although I've still to test it out properly as I only installed it yesterday. Richard Jones |

I decided to grab this offer while it was around. I made my order from B&H on the 9th. And it arrived on the 15th. Damn quick. Considering i live down under. :) (didnt pick it up until today 19th). So i'll install it all tomorrow and see if ti works (20th). lol
Hopefully having had the trial in wont stuff anything up. I remember checking out v7 and its rendering options seemed better for a few formats then what v8 offers (e.g. PSP output had templates for 480x272 in v7, but in v8 it was 480x270. in v8 i seemed to have very poor quality and 'something is stuffed' output when it come to AVC or MPEG2 rendering). Something must have been broke. SO i really hope now i finally get the full version that it wont repeat and will be quality, as i seen in v7 when i tested it.

Got my Vegas 6 and Vegas 8 upgrade in the mail today from B&H....
works great, no issues.... for those wondering, you do need to install Vegas 6 first, open Vegas 6 to load the SN, then install Vegas 8, open Vegas 8 to load SN... then I un-installed Vegas 6, after making sure I didn't want any of the plugins there... Works like a charm... actually very nice program... I can't wait to test some output disks... |

Upgrade to Vegas Pro 8
I’m running a new Vista machine and I bought the B&H upgrade to Vegas Pro 8. Unlike the upgrade to VP8 that Sony sells directly, Vegas 6 (or 7) has to be installed for the B&H upgrade to work. I called Sony and they told me to install Vegas 6, register it, install the upgrade to Vegas Pro 8 and then don’t touch Vegas 6 again. I also needed to download and install Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 (along with Service Pack 1).
So, Vegas 6 will install on a Vista machine . . . just don’t run it. I did this in December, but in January, I read about another more direct solution Sony will provide that leaves Vegas 6 off the machine altogether: http://dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.ph...494#post809494 It sounds like a better way to go: RJ |
